Prayer for Pope Leo XIV

Pour out your Holy Spirit upon our new Pope, Leo XIV,

with all the graces he needs

to be a courageous and gentle shepherd.

Fill him with faith, hope and love.

May he govern with wisdom

and fidelity to Christ and the Gospel.

May he be an inspiring missionary

of peace, healing and reconciliation in the world.

Give him health and strength

to do all that you ask of him.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
