POPE JOHN PAUL II


May 18, 1920 - April 2, 2005

In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet in the way of peace.  (Luke 1:78-79)

"I always feel the need of your help
 before the Lord to fulfill the mission
 Jesus has entrusted to me."   John Paul II
(February 13, 2005)

Good Friday 2005


FUNERAL MASS APRIL 8, 2005

May the Angels conduct you to Paradise.
And at your coming may the Martyrs receive you.
May they lead you to the holy City of Jerusalem.

May a choir of Angels receive you.
And may you, with Larzarus - once a poor man - 
Possess eternal peace.
(From Funeral Mass of John Paul II)

ROGITO

Pope John Paul II
(Click above to go to EWTN website)


We weep and mourn your death, Holy Father.  
It is more than sadness.
There is an emptiness in our hearts,
and we'll remember you with gratitude and joy.

"I am happy, and you should be as well.
Let us pray together with joy."  John Paul II, April 2005

"BE NOT AFRAID."  John Paul II, October 1978

* * *

I leave you now with this prayer: that the Lord Jesus will
reveal Himself to each one of you, that He will give you
the strength to go out and profess that you are Christian,
that He will show you that He alone can fill your hearts.
Accept His freedom and embrace His truth,
and be messengers of the certainty
that you have been truly liberated
through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
This will be the new experience, the powerful experience,
that will generate, through you,
a more just society and a better world.

God bless you and may the joy of Jesus be always with you!

[John Paul II.  L’Osservatore Romano, 11-5-79, 2]

PRAYER FOR ASKING GRACES THROUGH THE  INTERCESSION OF THE SERVANT OF GOD
 THE  POPE JOHN PAUL II

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.

With ecclesiastical approval
CARDINAL CAMILLO RUINI
the Holy Father's vicar General
for the Diocese of Rome
