Saint John Paul II

O Saint John Paul, from the windows of Heaven, grant us your blessing! Bless the Church that you loved, served and guided, courageously pushing it along the paths of the world in order to bring Jesus to everyone and everyone to Jesus.

Bless the young people, who were your great passion. Teach them to dream, teach them to look up to find the light that illuminates the paths of this life here.

Bless families, bless every family! You warned against Satan’s assault on this precious and indispensable spark of Heaven that God has kindled on earth. Saint John Paul II, protect with your prayer the family and every life that flourishes in the family.

Pray for the whole world, still marked by tensions, wars and injustices. You fought war by invoking dialogue and sowing love: pray for us, that we may be tireless sowers of peace.

O Saint John Paul, from the windows of Heaven, where we see you close to Mary, send down upon us all the blessing of God. Amen.
