O God,
from whom the just receive an unfailing reward,
grant that your servant, John Paul, our Pope,
whom you made vicar of Peter and shepherd of your Church,
may rejoice for ever in the vision of your glory,
for he was a faithful steward here on earth
of the mysteries of your forgiveness and grace.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
