Pope John Paul II

1978-2005

Let us all pray.

Father, eternal shepherd, hear the prayers of your people for your servant John Paul II, who governed your Church with love.

In your mercy, bring him with the flock entrusted to his care to the reward you have promised your faithful servants.

May he who faithfully administered the mysteries of your forgiveness and love on Earth, rejoice with you forever in Heaven.

In your wise and loving care, you made your servant teacher of all your Church.  He did the work of Christ on Earth.  May your Son welcome him to eternal glory.

May your servant whom you appointed high priest of your flock be counted now among the priests in the life of your kingdom.

Give your servant the reward of eternal happiness and let your mercy win for us the gift of your life and love.

We entrust your servant to your mercy with faith and confidence.  In the human family he was an instrument of your peace and love.

May he rejoice in those gifts for ever with your saints.
