Eucharistic prayer

Since the Pope is deceased, it is not appropriate to mention his name in the Te igitur or in the memores, but his name may be included in the memento for the dead. Thus,

…We offer them for N. our Pope, for N. our bishop
…We offer them for Adam our bishop…

Remember, Lord, those who have died…especially those for whom we now pray Pope John Paul the second

 EPII

…Lord, remember your Church…make us grow in love together with N. our Pope…
…Lord, remember your Church…make us grow in love with Adam our bishop and his assistant bishops and all the clergy.

Add the memento for the dead:
Remember Pope John Paul the second, whom you have called from this life…

 EPIII

…Strengthen in faith and love…your servant, Pope N., our bishop N….
…Strengthen in faith and love…our bishop Adam and his assistant bishops and all the bishops…

Add the memento for the dead:
Remember Pope John Paul the second. In baptism…

 EPIV

…Lord, remember those for whom…especially N. our Pope….
…Lord, remember those for whom…especially Adam our bishop, and bishops and clergy everywhere

 Sample Intercessions

That Pope John Paul the second, called to the heavenly kingdom by the Lord, may rejoice forever at the banquet table of heaven, we pray to the Lord.

That Pope John Paul the second, who served the Church as Supreme Pontiff for so many years, may worship God for ever in the liturgy of heaven, we pray to the Lord.

For Pope John Paul the second, who boldly proclaimed the Gospel to all the ends of the earth, that he may rejoice forever in heaven, we pray to the Lord.

 Liturgy of the Hours

Some parishes may wish to use either Morning Prayer or Evening Prayer as a means of celebrating the life of the Pope. The Office of Christian Worship has provided resources for this purpose.
