O God, in your wondrous providence, you have chosen your servant, Pope Leo XIV, to preside over your Church. We ask that you grant him the strength and wisdom to serve as the Vicar of your Son on earth. May he be an example to the flock, leading with holiness, eagerness, humility, and courage, in imitation of the eternal High Priest.
Bless him with a love and reverence for the Apostolic See, and guide him to defend its rights and authority valiantly. Grant him the grace to promote prayer and to call all people to discover their dignity as Christians through daily prayer. May his pastoral initiatives be a blessing for the universal Church, and may his words and authority inspire a society truly inspired by the values of peace, harmony, and justice.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
In you, my God, my body will rest in hope.
