  PRAYER FOR THE HOLY FATHER 

 GOD, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful,
look down upon Thy servant, Pope Francis,
whom Thou has deigned to appoint the supreme Pastor     
 of Thy Church; grant we beseech Thee, that both his
word and example may benefit those over whom
he has been placed, so that together with
 the flock entrusted to his care
he may attain unto life everlasting, 
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

 Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
pour in richest fullness Thy blessings upon Holy Church,
the Pope, and all the clergy;
grant perseverance to the just,
conversion of sinners; enlighten the unbelievers;
bless our relatives, friends, and benefactors;
assist the dying;
deliver the souls in purgatory;
and extend over all hearts
the gentle dominion of Thy love. Amen.
