Today we are praying through the intercession of Pope St. John Paul II for a greater appreciation and awareness of the beauty and goodness of our mission in life as men and women. May the gentle heart of this great saint guide youth and families toward the fulfillment of all their desires in Christ. Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!

O Holy Mother, at thy feet I offer a crown of roses, snow white lilies to remind thee of the Joyful Mysteries of thy heart. Bound together by my petition for the protection of human life and dignity and the defeat of Issue 1, I entrust this gift to thee, knowing that I have no reason to despair while in the presence of your Most Gentle, Charitable Heart. From thy bounty, please grant the favor I now so earnestly seek. Show thyself, my Queen, and come to my aid! Amen.
