A prayer for our new Pope Leo XIV

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in choosing Pope Leo as the new shepherd of Your Church.

Grant him wisdom like Solomon, courage like Peter, and compassion like Christ.

Strengthen him with Your grace as he leads the faithful in truth and love.

May his words and actions reflect Your will, bringing unity, peace, and renewal to the Church and the world.

Protect him from all harm, and bless him with health of body, clarity of mind, and purity of heart.

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Peter, and all the saints,

May Pope Leo be a faithful servant, a beacon of hope, and a true father to all. Amen.
