Put on the cool shades!
In solidarity with Pope Saint John Paul II during Easter Week leading up to the canonization on April 27th — put on the cool shades of the saint who loved youth.
We will.
Saint John Paul II, pray for us!
You knew that authentic humor is profoundly Catholic as it directs us to the levity of heaven and away from our preoccupation with the weight of the world!
Prayer for the Intercession of Pope John Paul II
O Holy Trinity, we thank you for having given to the Church, Pope John Paul II, and for having made him shine with your fatherly tenderness, the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love.
He, trusting completely in your infinite mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, has shown himself in the likeness of Jesus the Good Shepherd and has pointed out to us holiness as the path to reach eternal communion with You.
Grant us, through his intercession, according to your will, the grace that we implore, in the hope that he will soon be numbered among your saints.
Amen
