Prayer of John Paul II For Divine Mercy

As a gift to humanity, which sometimes seems bewildered by the power of evil, selfishness, and fear, the Risen Lord offers His love that pardons, reconciles, and reopens hearts to love. It is love that converts hearts and gives peace. How much the world needs to understand and accept Divine Mercy!

Lord, who reveals the Father's love by Your death and Resurrection, we believe in You and confidently repeat to You:

Jesus, I trust in You,
have mercy on us and
on the whole world.
Amen

From the message that our Holy Father of beloved memory prepared for the Regina Caeli on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 3, 2005. On April 3, it was read by a Vatican official to the faithful after Mass at St. Peter's for the eternal repose of the soul of John Paul II.

 "Yes, I feel it; even though I had on my conscience all the sins that can be committed, I would go, my heart broken with sorrow, and throw myself into Jesus' arms, for I know how much He loves the prodical child who returns to Him. It is not because God, in his anticipating mercy, has preserved my soul from mortal sin that I go to Him with confidence and love...."

St. Therese of Lisieux

 
Salve Regina (Latin Text)

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae vita,
dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.

Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Evae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et
in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exilium ostende.

O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

Hail Holy Queen (Salve Regina - English Translation)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy
our life, our sweetness and our hope.

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. 

Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

A Prayer for Canada

O Heavenly Father, we commit this our beloved land to the Kingship and Lordship of Jesus Christ.

We ask you to renew our country in the power of the Holy Spirit, that all Canadians may bow their knee and confess with their tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord.

We pray that our political leaders receive Wisdom and Knowledge from on high to govern this land according to Your Sovereign Will and that we may prosper in Justice and in Peace, in Love and in Truth until our Lord is indeed the King of Canada from coast to coast, from sea to sea.

We pledge a covenant of prayer and witness so that the powers of evil be defeated and the enemy of God, Satan be subdued.

Let Jesus Christ be Sovereign in every City Hall, every Parliament and every Court in our land until the day of His Glorious coming.

Amen

St. Joseph, Patron Saint of Canada, pray for us.
