Dear everyone, the Church celebrates John Paul II's feasts on October 22. I would like to invite you to join The John Paul II Center Team in asking for the intercession of Saint John Paul II for the different needs we face here in The John Paul II Center. We would also be praying for the different intentions of those who are joining us in prayer. If you have some that you would like to include, please feel free to email me. A few of our special needs at The John Paul II Center include:
1) That we can continue to promote the culture of life and convey God's Merciful love throughout our different projects.
2) That we can expand our services and partnership with other organizations to meet the needs of our brothers and sisters.
3) That we can grow and strengthen our infrastructure and continue to meet our financial needs.
4) That God would strengthen, inspire, and allow all those involved in this project to become greater witnesses of God's light and His very heart.
NOVENA TO ST. JOHN PAUL II
Do this daily along with the reflections below:
Let us pray: Merciful God, accept our thanksgiving For the gift of St. John Paul’s II apostolic life and mission And through his intercession, please, GRANT US THIS PETITION___________. Grant us also to grow in love for you And proclaim boldly the love of Christ to all people. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
O Blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the Church with St. 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 example 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.
Our Father*, Hail Mary**, and Glory Be***, The Divine Mercy Chaplet****
