Brothers,
St. John Paul II was Pope from 1978 to 2005 and gave a powerful witness to the world about the transformative power of Christ. He also had and continues to have a powerful influence on the Knights of Columbus. While his feast Day is Saturday October 22, pray the Novena to St. John Paul II during the remaining month of October.
NOVENA TO ST. JOHN PAUL II
O Blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the church with Saint John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your fatherly care, the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love 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. He 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, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
" A good leader sees everything, overlooks a great deal, and corrects a little"
St John Paul II
