O come all you peoples, let us worship God in Three Persons

Prayer for Pope Leo XIV

Jesus, Supreme Pontiff of the New and Eternal Testament, Thou art seated at the right hand of God as a perpetual Advocate for us and are pleased to be for all time with Thy beloved spouse the Church and with Thy vicar who governs her.   Divine Prince of the pastors of Thy flock, You have deigned to place on the throne of Peter Thy servant and Pontiff, Pope Leo.   Make him, in the midst of the wickedness of our times, mild in hostile attacks, strong in the defence of the faith, and a gentle father and watchful master in the pastoral office. 

May Thy Kingdom come, Immortal King of the ages!   May the truth, which Thou hast brought from Heaven, reach even to the ends of the earth.   May the fire which Thou willest to be cast upon the earth inflame all hearts.   This is the desire that is in the heart of Thy vicar:  a desire to reconcile all men to Thee;  a desire for concord and forgiveness among nations;  a desire for justice and peace.
 
Jesus, enlighten Thy vicar.   Strengthen him in his sorrows and in his universal cares.   Speak that powerful word, O Lord, which shall change minds, turn hate into love, check the fury of human passions, temper the sufferings, and dry the tears of those who are in sorrow.   Increase the virtue and the resignation of families and pacify nations and peoples so that the Church built by Thee on Saint Peter to gather all people around Thine altar of life and salvation, may invoke Thee, adore Thee, and exalt Thee in peace forever. Amen. 

V.    Let us pray for our Pontiff Leo.
R.   The Lord preserve him, and give him life, and bless him upon earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. 

Our Father.   Hail Mary. 

O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, mercifully look upon Thy servant Leo, whom Thou hast chosen as the chief Shepherd to preside over Thy Church.   We beg Thee to help him edify, both by word and example, those over whom he has charge, that he may reach everlasting life together with the flock entrusted to him.   Through Christ our Lord.   Amen.
