A Novena of Prayer

FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOUL of

POPE JOHN PAUL II

FIFTH DAY

“Strengthen Your Brothers”

In the name of the Father, + and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (22:31-34)

[Jesus said,] “Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to

sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed that your own

faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must

strengthen your brothers.” He said to him, “Lord, I am prepared

to go to prison and to die with you.” But he replied,

“I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will

deny three times that you know me.”

Pause for silent prayer for our Holy Father.

Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

And let perpetual light shine upon him.

Lord, you gave Pope John Paul, your servant

and priest the privilege of a holy ministry in this world.

May he rejoice for ever in the glory of your kingdom,

where you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen
