General Purpose of the Board of
Directors of Generation JPII, Inc.
We, the below signed individuals, join together in gratitude to the
Father, having “learned from experience the power of prayer, the
beauty of the Liturgy, the joy that comes from doing the will of
God…”, knowing “…the unspeakable happiness of believing that God
became Man, died for us on the Cross and is now teaching us through
His Church and living and active among us in the Holy Eucharist.”1
Our hope is to engender this same faith among all, particularly
among the youth through the Sacraments of Eucharist and Penance,
always for the sanctity of human life, as inspired and encouraged by
our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II.

Will the Board of
Directors of Generation JPII please come forward.
·
My dear Board Members:
·
You have learned from
experience the power of prayer…the beauty of the Sacred Liturgy…and
the joy that comes from doing the will of God.
·
You know the unspeakable
happiness of believing that God became Man…died for us on the
Cross…and is now teaching us through His Church…and living among us in
the Holy Eucharist.
·
Your hope is to engender
this same faith among all…but especially among the youth…through the
Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Penance.
·
You do all of this…for
the sanctity of human life…as inspired and encouraged by our late Holy
Father…Pope John Paul the Second.
·
I therefore ask you:
·
Are you resolved to do
all you can…to reduce the unnecessary earthly suffering of your
brothers and sisters…by increasing awareness of the Magisterial Truths
of the Catholic Church…which focus on the truth of the sanctity of
God-created human life?
·
Are you resolved to
facilitate the saving and protection of the lives of unborn babies…the
elderly…and other vulnerable and unprotected human beings?
·
Are you resolved to help
form effective youth and adult pro-life leaders and citizens?
·
And finally… are you
resolved to provide a forum for communications between the various
Chapters of Generation JPII…and to create and administer joint
projects of the various Chapters?
·
Please kneel…and bow
your heads in prayer.
·
Heavenly Father…on this
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity…bless (+) and consecrate these
young adult leaders…chosen to be the Board of Directors of Generation
JPII.
·
Give them all of the
graces…and heavenly help needed…to faithfully carry out the sacred
mission that has now been entrusted to them.
·
Keep them always
faithful to the Holy Roman Church…the Vicar of Christ on Earth.
·
And…if they grow
discouraged in their work…give them hope.
·
Assure them of the
support of your people.
·
And bring them at last
to the joys of heaven…in the company of the Blessed Virgin Mary…the
saints and angels.
Almighty and everlasting God
Who by the grace of the Holy Spirit
Elevated your servant Pope John Paul
the Second
To lead and guide your Church into the
Third Millennium
Grant that by the same Holy Spirit
These young adult leaders of
Generation JPII
May enjoy forever his prayers and
patronage,
Through Christ, our Lord.
Amen!
