3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II
DAY 3 - OCTOBER 15
“HAVE NO FEAR OF MOVING INTO THE UNKNOWN"
Dear St. John Paul II, you told us: “Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.” What more can I say, but thank you for your confidence in me. Help me have complete faith in God. Stand with me at all times as my intercessor and spiritual guide until I get to Heaven.
PRAYER: Merciful God, accept our thanksgiving for the gift of St. John Paul II's apostolic life and mission and through his intercession, please grant us this petition (mention your 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. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. John Paul II: Pray for us!
