He guided us with the most loving care while he was with us in this world. He is now with you in paradise. Grant, by your gracious will, that he be an intercessor for us who journey through life in your pilgrim church. May the Blessed Mother of God, Mary Most Holy, whom John Paul was so devoted to, be our hope and our strength as she was for him. Eternal Father, John Paul II taught us the deep value of the human person as he traveled throughout the world spreading your message of peace and eternal salvation. He showed us the value of the Cross by the way he lived. John Paul II defended life in all stages, from the womb to the elderly and preached the sanctity of life. May we come to know these truths and live them as he did with undying faith, hope and love. We make our prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
