Pope John Paul II in ivory.
Prayer to Pope John Paul II:
O Saint John Paul, from the window of heaven, give us your blessing! Bless the Church, which you loved, served and guided, encouraging her to walk courageously along the paths of the world, to lead everyone to Jesus!
Bless the young people, who were also your great passion.
Help them to dream again, to look upward again to find the light that illuminates the paths of life on earth.
Bless the families, bless each family!
You perceived Satan's action against this precious and indispensable spark of heaven that God lit on earth.
Saint John Paul, with your intercession, protects families and each life that is born within the family.
Pray for the whole world, still marked by tensions, wars and injustices.
You opposed war, invoking dialogue and sowing love; Pray for us, so that we may be tireless sowers of peace.
O Saint John Paul, from the window of heaven, where we see you next to Mary, bring God's blessing down upon all of us and through your intercession, grant us the grace we beg (...make the request...).
Amen!
OUR FATHER, AVE MARY, GLORY TO THE FATHER...
