Please Pray for Pope John Paul II

I cannot believe this day has come. While we all must die at some point and hopefully go home to our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, with the evil facing the world today, I wish Pope John Paul II would be able to provide his usual inspirational leadership to help us navigate these treacherous waters. Please pray for him. He will soon be welcomed by our Most Blessed Mother, the Ever-Virgin Immaculate Mary, to whom Pope John Paul showed great devotion. Please pray that God will limit his suffering.

Please also pray to the Holy Spirit to have the greatest possible influence the conclave when they eventually meet to choose the successor to our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II. The Pope wields strong influence on the world stage. The spotlight given to a new Pope will allow him to articulate his ideas and views to the entire planet. At a time when morality is under attack and moral relativism rules society, we need someone with a strong moral compass who will guide us on our pilgrimage on this earth.

Regardless of whether Pope John Paul II is alive or not by that time, for those who are Catholic, please offer your Masses and Communions for him.
