Please join us in offering a Novena for the Holy Father's intentions in honor of his birthday (May 18):
May the Lord preserve our Holy Father Pope John Paul II, give him life, and make him blessed upon earth, and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.
O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful, in Thy mercy look down upon Thy servant, John Paul, whom Thou has appointed to preside over Thy Church, and grant we beseech Thee that both by word and example he may edify those who are under his charge, so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may attain life everlasting. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
