Novena to Saint John Paul II - Day 1

Reflection by Saint John Paul II:

    “It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream if happiness; he is waiting for
     you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are
     so attracted . . .”

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.
