Pope Prayer | Latin and English

English

V. Let us pray for our Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Leo. 

R. May the Lord preserve him and 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, Leo, 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 Leone. 

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

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