JOANNES PAULUS II

SERVUS SERVORUM DEI - SIERVO DE LOS SIERVOS DE DIOS - SERVENT DELS SERVENTS DE DÉU - SERVO DEI SERVI DI DIO - THE SERVANT OF THE SERVANTS OF GOD - SERVITEUR DES SERVITEURS DE DEIU

Oh God, Merciful Father, that by mediation of Jesus our Redeemer and of his Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the action of the Holy Spirit, you granted John Paul II the exemplary grace to be a Shepherd in the service of the Pilgrim Church, of the sons and daughters of the Church and of all the men and women of good will, that I also will know how to respond with fidelity to the demands of the Christian vocation, changing all the moments and circumstances of my life to acts of loving you and of serving the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. I beg you grant me by his intercession the favor that I ask (here make your petition). To you, Omnipotent Father, origin of the cosmos and man, by Christ, the one that lives, Lord of time and of history, in the Holy Spirit that sanctifies the universe, praise, honor and glory now and forever. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be to the Father.		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 Shepherd, 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. Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be to the Father.
