Prayer for The Pope

Joseph Ratzinger
POPE BENEDICT XVI
Elected Pope: 4-10-2005
God our Father, shepherd and guide
look with love on Benedict
your servant, the pastor of your church.
May his word and example inspire
and guide the Church, and
may he, and all those untrusted
to his care, come to the joy of
everlasting life.

Grant this through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your son,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
From the Roman Missal
