Prayers to Venerable John Paul II?

[nsper7]

Since confirmed post-morten miracles are required in order for Venerable John Paul II to become Blessed and, later, Saint, doesn’t that mean we now need to start praying to him to ask him to intercede for us so miraculous proof can be brought to show if he is in Heaven?

How does one pray to a Venerable since there is, ultimately, a chance said individual may not be in Heaven.

Prayer for asking graces through the intercession of the Servant of God
the Pope John Paul II

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

With ecclesiastical approval
CARDINAL CAMILLO RUINI
the Holy Father’s Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome​
