PRAY FOR POPE LEO XIV
Prayer for the New Pope
As Pope Leo XIV assumes the Petrine Ministry, we pray that the Holy Spirit may draw ever closer to our new Holy Father and illuminate his path, so that he may faithfully see and respond to the needs of God’s people.
Let us also pray for our new Holy Father, that he leads us to ever greater unity and love, so that our Church may continue building bridges that connect us to God and to one another.

O God,
who in your providential design
willed that your Church be built upon blessed Peter,
whom you set over the other Apostles,
look with favor, we pray,
on Leo, our Pope
and grant that he,
whom you have made Peter’s successor,
may be for your people
a visible source and foundation
of unity in faith and of communion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
