Deepertruth: St. John Paul II Novena - Day 2

St. John Paul II Novena - Day 2

Pope St. John Paul II was one of the most beloved Popes in history. He was a young Pope who evangelized the world during his long and fruitful pontificate. He played a large role in ending Communism, he forgave the man that tried to assassinate him, he lead ecumenical and interfaith dialog, he inaugurated World Youth Day, his many Pastoral visits around the world, his celebration of the Jubilee Year 2000 and his struggle with Parkinson’s disease were just some of the ways that he was a witness of the faith to both catholics and non-catholics. Upon his death many called for him to become a saint immediately.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Most holy servant of God, Pope St. John Paul II, we pray today for the youth and for World Youth Day.

We ask you to grant us your blessing from heaven! God gave you the grace of His fatherly tenderness and the spirit of His love from which we can all learn. We humbly implore you to intercede for us:

(State your intentions)

Most holy St. John Paul II, you were a witness of Jesus Christ for the whole world. You lit the world on fire with your passion for Christ and the Church. Trusting in God’s infinite mercy and in the intercession of Mary, you have shown us the path to reach eternal communion with God. And we ask that you pray for us…

Pray for us, that we can convey forgiveness to those who have done wrong.

St. John Paul II, we know that you are a powerful intercessor because of your great example of how to live the faith. Grant us, through your intercession, the grace to also happily glorify God in our lives.

Hail Mary…

Glory be…

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
