Prayer for the Canonisation of Pope John Paul II

Published by the Rome Diocese

O blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II, and for allowing in the tenderness of your fatherly care, the glory of the cross of Christ, and the splendour 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.
