Prayers for Special Intentions

Prayer for the Church

Heavenly Father, look upon our community of faith which is
the Church of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to witness to His
love by loving all our fellow creatures without exception. Under
the leadership of the Holy Father and the Bishops keep us
faithful to Christ’s mission of calling all men and women to Your
service so that there may be “one fold and one shepherd.”
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for the Pope

Heavenly Father, be pleased to bless and protect our Holy
Father, Pope N., whom You have chosen as the successor of
Saint Peter to be chief minister of unity and charity in the
Church. Keep him safe in holiness of life and in wise fulfillment
of his awesome responsibilities.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
