The Cause for the Beatification of John Paul II

The Cause for the beatification of John Paul II is officially opened as of June 29th in Rome on the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. The official website is John Paul II Beatification .

Prayer for John Paul II's Intercession:

O Blessed Trinity, we thank You for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care, the glory of the cross of Christ, and the splendor of the Holy Spirit, 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, and 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, hoping that he will soon be numbered among your saints.
Amen.
