Pope John Paul II

1920 - 2005


Pope John Paul II at Mt Nebo near Amman, Jordan where some believe Moses first spied the promised land.

For the Holy Father's eternal rest:

Deus, qui inter summos Sacerdotes famulum tumm Ioannem Paulum ineffabili tua dispositione connumerari voluisti: præsta, quæsumus; ut, qui Unigeniti Filii tui vices in terris gerebat, sanctorum tuorum Pontificum consortio perpetuo aggregetur. Per dum dem Dominum. Amen.

O God, Who in Thy transcendent providence wast pleased to cause Thy servant John Paul, to be numbered among the supreme pontiffs, we pray Thee to admit him, who on earth was vicar of Thy only-begotten Son, into the company of holy pontiffs now and forevermore; through the same Lord. Amen.

For our deceased Carmelite brother, John Paul:

Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam ad preces nostras, quibus misericordiam tuam supplices deprecamur: ut animam famuli tui Ioannis Pauli Fratris nostri et Pontifici tui, quam de hoc sæculo migrare jussisti, in pacis ac lucis regione constituas, et Sanctorum tuorum jubeas esse consortem. Per Dominum nostrum. Amen.

O Lord, give ear to our prayers as we humbly beseech Thy mercy that the soul of Thy servant John Paul, our Brother and Thy Pontiff, who at Thy bidding has departed from this world, may be established in the abode of peace and light, and may at Thy command have entrance into the company of Thy saints: through Our Lord. Amen.
