Pope John Paul II, Intercession of

Prayer for Asking for Graces Through the Intercession of the Servant of God, Pope John Paul II

O Blessed Trinity.

We thank You for having graced the Church

with Pope John Paul II

and for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care,

the glory of the cross of Christ,

and the splendor of the Holy Spirit,

to shine through him.

Trusting fully in Your infinite mercy

and in the maternal intercession of Mary,

he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepard,

and has shown us that holiness

is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life

and is the way of achieving eternal communion with you.

Grant us, by his intercession , and according to Your will,

the graces we implore,

hoping that he will soon be numbered

among your saints.

Amen.
