Prayer for the Pope

O God, eternal Shepherd of the faithful, who tend Your Church in countless ways and rule over her in love, grant, we pray, that Leo, Your servant, whom You have set over Your people, may preside in the place of Christ over the flock whose shepherd he is, and be faithful as a teacher of doctrine, a Priest of sacred worship and as one who serves them by governing. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
