Feast Day Mass for Blesed John Paul 11.

Thank you Fr. John for the beautiful celebration of Holy Mass this night. It was a truly beautiful celebration and everyone that was there wanted to be there.

We were reminded of how holy Blessed John Paul 11 was and how much he loved Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

Blessed John Paul was the Pope of our time. As a young girl he visited out home parish, Our Lady Help of Christians and he stayed in our Parish for his duration in Dublin. We as young people got to paint the railings up the drive where he would be staying and at 3.00 a.m. the next morning we had to work as stewards in the Phoenix Park, Dublin. It was such a joyous and memorable occasion for us the "young people of Ireland".

Many thanks Fr. John for renewing the wonderful memories of this remarkable person who touched all our lives and for the beautiful encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.

God Bless you and your work.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Holy Family of Nazareth,

we bless and venerate you.

We commend to your care and protection

the cause of marriage and family life.

May the peace which reigned in your home

take possession of all hearts and abide in all families.

Confirm all men and women in the truth

so we may recognise what is good and right

and reject all that hinders life

and the true flourishing of humanity.

Guide the hearts of all citizens

that we may witness to the truth

in forming the laws governing our society.

Bless those who work for the protection

of marriage, family and life.

O Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Holy Family of Nazareth,

We entrust our hearts and our lives to you.

Amen

Heavenly Father,

We thank you for the witness of your Servant, Blessed Paul VI, who served you and the Church as Universal Pastor in difficult times.

As a pilgrim among pilgrims he sought to reveal the beauty and joy of the Gospel to the men and women of his time, choosing the way of gentleness and forbearance.

As Shepherd of the flock he sought to proclaim the truth in a time of great confusion in imitation of his patron the Apostle to the Gentiles.

As Servant he proclaimed the Gospel of Life and in doing so bore the cross of suffering and isolation in union with your Crucified Son becoming a Prophet in the midst of the growing culture of death.

As we beseech you to raise your Servant to be numbered among the Saints, may his example of faith, courage and patient endurance inspire us in our daily living of the Gospel and in our witness to Jesus Christ.

May we too be Prophets of life, respecting, protecting and cherishing the gift of life, most especially in its most vulnerable moments.

May we too be your missionaries at this time, seeking to transform the hearts of all men and women through the joy we find in Christ.

Hear our prayers, most Merciful Father, and grant us through the intercession of Blessed Paul the graces we now ask that you may grant a healing of baby Paul.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory Be.

Blessed Paul VI, pray for him

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour of the world, look upon our brothers and sisters in the Middle East, who proclaim your Name and live your Gospel in the midst of persecution, strive and martyrdom. Save them, we pray, protect them, and hear our prayer that peace may come to the Land you graced with your presence.

Sweet Jesus of Nazareth, our Christ, Incarnate Son of God, Redeemer, heed your people’s prayers. Amen.

Holy Mother Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Peace, pray for your suffering children.
