Pope Prayer

English

May the Lord preserve our Holy Father, Pope Francis, give him life, and make him blessed upon earth, and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.

Let us pray: O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful, in Thy Mercy look down upon Thy servant, Francis, whom Thou hast appointed to preside over Thy Church, and grant we beseech Thee that, both by word and example, he may edify those who are under his charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may attain life everlasting. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Latin

V. Oremus pro Pontifice nostro Fancisco.

R. Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beautum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius.

Oremus: Deus, omnium fidelium pastor et rector, famulum tuum Francisco, quem pastorem Ecclesiae tuae praeesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei, quaesumus, verbo et exemplo, quibus praeest, proficere: ut at vitam una cum grege sibi credito, perveniat sempiternam. Per Christum, Dominium nostrum.
Amen.
