The prayer:
O Blessed Trinity,
We thank you for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II
and for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care, the glory of the cross of Christ,
and the splendor of the Holy Spirit, 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, and 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, hoping that he will soon be numbered among your saints. Amen.

Quite a while ago, we began to bring you accounts of what seemed like intercessions at the behest of the late great Pope John Paul II (left, as schoolboy). It more and more appears that the Pope will not only be a canonized saint in the near future -- perhaps declared a martyr -- but that he will become one of those special intercessor saints. We expected an initial flurry, but the pace of reports has not slowed down. In a very short time, the entire gamut of favors has been recorded, and not just here: the Vatican says it has been flooded with accounts of healing and other answered prayers from around the world.
A hundred e-mails a day are arriving in testimony to John Paul's virtues. Most of the messages came from Latin America, followed by Europe, says the Vatican. Just the other day was the account of a woman in Columbia, Florida, who had been unable to walk due to a debilitating bone-marrow disease, but was able to do so after asking for the Pope's help. There are even accounts of miracles that occurred while the Pope was still alive, such as that of a Jewish millionaire who was cured of a brain tumor after attending a Mass with the Pope (although such alleged miracles will not count for canonization because to do so the miracles must occur after his death).
It takes but a few hours of requesting such stories to watch them roll in by the dozens. There are big favors and there are what seem like minor ones -- but they are all important, to be sure, in the lives of those who received them!
