 Prayer for His Eminence Jaime Cardinal Sin, former archbishop of Manila, Philippines

    God our merciful Father, we thank You for sending us a faithful servant of the Church in the person of Jaime Cardinal Sin, who for a very long time lead your Church in the Philippines.  May all the seeds of divine love that he had sown in each and every one of us continue to grow and yield good things that will proclaim Your glory.  Now that You’ve call him to join Your heavenly family, may You will grant him the reward of his labors and welcome his noble soul into the joy and peace of Your eternal Kingdom.  We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.  Amen.

 

Prayer for Asking Graces through the Intercession of the Servant of God Pope John Paul II

    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. (with ecclesiastical approval from Camillo Cardinal Ruini, the Holy Father’s Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome)
