In blessed repose, grant, O Lord,
eternal rest to the soul of Your servant
John Paul
Pope of Rome
and remember him forever.

May
Christ, our true God, risen from the dead, Who rules over the
living and the dead, place the soul of His departed servant,
Pope John Paul, in the abode of the Saints, grant him rest in
the bosom of Abraham, and number him among the Just through
the prayers of His most pure Mother, of the holy, glorious,
and illustrious Apostles, of our venerable and God- bearing
Fathers, and of all the Saints; may He have mercy on us and
save us, for He is gracious and loves Mankind.
