Towards the Beatification and Feast of Divine Mercy

O Blessed Trinity,
we thank you
for having graced the church
with Pope John Paul II
and for allowing
the tenderness of your Fatherly care,
the glory of the cross of Christ,
and the splendor of the Holy Spirit,
to shine through him.

Trusting fully in your infinite mercy
and in the maternal intercession of Mary,
he has given us
a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd,
and has shown us
that holiness is the necessary measure
of ordinary Christian life
and is the way
of achieving eternal communion with you.

Grant us,
by his intercession, and according to your will,
the graces we implore,
hoping that he will soon be
numbered among your saints.

Amen.
