🙏 Prayer for the New Pope
Lord, pour your grace into the heart and hands of Pope Leo XIV, and grant him a blessed papacy. May he lead your people with love and courage. Amen.
🙏 Jubilee Year Prayer (Shortened Version)
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your Son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your kingdom.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever, Amen.
