PRAYER FOR THE CANONIZATION OF
BLESSED JOHN PAUL II

O Blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the
Church with Blessed 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 Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the
necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and the way of
achieving eternal communion with you.
Grant us, by his intercession, and according to your
will the graces we implore, especially for [ PAUSE TO ADD
YOUR INTENTIONS ] . . . we ask this, hoping that he will soon
be numbered among your saints. AMEN

Mahalo to Mary Jane for sharing the foregoing.
