\n

\nOh, St. John Paul, from the window of heaven, grant us your blessing! Bless the church that you loved and served and guided, courageously leading it along the paths of the world in order to bring Jesus to everyone and everyone to Jesus. Bless the young, who were your great passion. Help them dream again, help them look up high again to find the light that illuminates the paths of life here on earth.<\/p>\n

May you bless families, bless each family! You warned of Satan\u2019s assault against this precious and indispensable divine spark that God lit on earth. St. John Paul, with your prayer, may you protect the family and every life that blossoms from the family.<\/p>\n

Pray for the whole world, which is still marked by tensions, wars and injustice. You tackled war by invoking dialogue and planting the seeds of love: pray for us so that we may be tireless sowers of peace.<\/p>\n

Oh St. John Paul, from heaven\u2019s window, where we see you next to Mary, send God\u2019s blessing down upon us all. Amen.(mention your intentions here)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PRAYER FOR THE SICK\n<\/p>\n

\n

Saint John Paul, you invited us to look at the difficult situations in our lives from the perspective of faith, so as to see the mystery of pain’s contribution to our lives. In Jesus, who suffered with us and for us, you have taught us to find meaning and value in the physical and psychological ills that often fill our days and nights.\u00a0 We pray for all those who have suffered the effects of war and for those who carry the burden of illness for a lifetime. We entrust to your prayers those who are in hospitals and nursing homes; people who are disabled or emotionally disturbed; men, women and children who have a terminal illness and who live the Calvary of suffering and loneliness.\u00a0 May those who accompany and care for the sick find their hearts expanded by love.\u00a0 May they recognize in the sick the presence of the poor, crucified Christ.\u00a0 We pray for those who have turned their back on God and faith because of the seemingly unanswerable question of suffering, that they might discover that the mystery of pain can only be understood in Jesus Christ who reveals to us most deeply who we are.\u00a0 In their pain, may they hear the words of the Master: “Follow me.” AMEN.(mention those whom you are praying for who are ill and\/or suffering)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
