Beatification of Pope John Paul II

The parishioners of Kingscourt led special prayers at last weekend Masses to mark the beatification of Pope John Paul 11 by his immediate successor, Pope Benedict XV1 on Divine Mercy Sunday. A  simple  prayer card sponsored by a parishioner was made available at Masses in the parish.  The Stolowsk Family, originally from Poland,donated a specially designed rug created in Poland as a gift to the parish to mark the beatification of their countryman Blessed John Paul 11.
 
O Blessed Trinity , we  thank you for having graced the Church with John Paul 11 and for allowing the tenderness of Your Fatherly care, the glory of the Cross of Christ, and the splendour of the Spirit to shine through him. Trusting fully in your infinite mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with You. Grant us, by his intercession and according to Your will, the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon be numbered among Your saints. AMEN.
