Prayer for the Pope: Prayer for the Sovereign Pontiff

O God, the Pastor, and Governor of all the faithful,

mercifully regard Thy servant, Pope _____________ ,

whom Thou hast placed as chief pastor over Thy Church;

grant, we beseech Thee,

that both by word and example

he may edify all those who are under his charge;

that, together with the flock committed to his care,

he may arrive at life everlasting:

through our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son,

who lives and reigns with You

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

One God,

forever and ever.

Amen.

He is called to faithfully guide the Church and teach the true faith in a world that can often oppose him.
