Pope John Paul II by Krzysztof Annusewicz, Day Six Reflection by Saint John Paul II: “The Good News which she received from her divine Founder obliges the Church to proclaim the message of salvation and human dignity and to condemn injustices and attacks on human dignity.” Prayer for the Intercession of St. John Paul II O Blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the Church with Saint John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your fatherly care, the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love 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. He 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, through Christ our Lord. Amen. A Prayer composed by St. John Paul II And behold: we who… are standing… beneath the cross of the ages, wish, through Your cross and passion, O Christ, to cry out today that mercy [which] has irreversibly entered in to the history of man, into our whole human history—and which in spite of the appearances of weakness is stronger than evil. It is the greatest power and force upon which man can sustain himself, threatened as he is from so many sides… Holy is God. Holy and strong. Holy immortal One, have mercy on us. Have mercy: eleison: misere. May the power of Your love once more be shown to be greater than the evil that threatens it. May it be shown to be greater than sin… May the power of Your cross, O Christ, be shown to be greater than the author of sin, who is called “the prince of this world.” For by your blood and Your passion You have redeemed the world! [L’Osservatore Romano, 4-27-81,8] St. John Paul II, pray for us.
