Saint John Paul II, beloved spiritual guide and pastor, we turn to you in humility and prayer. Your life was a living testimony of faith, love and devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ and to the Church, which you served with unwavering passion.
O Holy Father, you who bore the burden of the papal ministry with admirable grace and steadfastness, we thank you for your example of holiness, courage and humility. Your profound teaching and your ability to bring together the faithful from all over the world continue to inspire generations of believers.
Saint John Paul II, you who travelled tirelessly to meet and bless the nations, intercede for us. Grant us the grace of unity, interreligious dialogue and peace. May your legacy of reconciliation and understanding between peoples continue to bear fruit in our troubled world.
Pope of the Family, you taught the beauty and sanctity of marriage and family life. We pray that you will protect and bless our families, guide spouses in their love for one another, and inspire parents to raise their children in faith and love.
Saint John Paul II, you embraced the suffering of illness and old age with exemplary dignity. Help us to find grace in our own sufferings, to unite ourselves to the cross of Christ, and to see in them an opportunity for purification and for drawing closer to God.
We also pray to you for the Church you served with such zeal. Grant her inspired leaders, dedicated priests and religious, and committed lay people to continue the mission of the Gospel in the world.
St. John Paul II, you who beatified and canonized many saints, intercede for us that we too may grow in holiness and become witnesses to Christ. Help us to follow your example of prayer, service and compassion for the most vulnerable.
We pray to you for the whole world, for justice, peace, reconciliation and an end to violence. May your legacy of promoting human rights and human dignity inspire leaders and citizens to work together for a better world.
Saint John Paul II, model of faith and holiness, we entrust our particular intentions to you (mention your intentions here). Intercede on our behalf with God, our Father, that he may answer our prayers according to his will.
Saint John Paul II, pray for us, intercede for us, guide us on the path of faith and holiness. Amen.
