Prayer to Popes St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II
Holy shepherds of our own time, compassionate servants of the servants of God through you the Second Vatican Council brought the world together and called each of us to cultivate the virtue of solidarity with all peoples. Intercede for us, so that, following your example, we may always seek our life in God, work for the common good, and embody the Good News of God's unconditional love for all people. By your witness of contemplation and devotion, may we too come into union with the Trinity, in this life and the next. Saint John XXIII, father of the Council, pray for us. Saint John Paul II, universal pastor, pray for us. Prayer: Diocese of Calgary, 2014 |
