We welcome the good news that we have been granted a new successor to Saint Peter as Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Christ and Holy Father of the worldwide Catholic Church,  Pope Leo XIV

Let us pray for Pope Leo XIV, that he may lead our Holy Catholic Church, according to God’s Holy Will:
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity,  love and peace for all the world.
O Mary, Mother of the Church, you are always with us and ever ready to intercede for us.  We entrust to you our Pope Leo XIV.  With your maternal wisdom, protect and guide him and the whole Church, that we may continue to follow your crucified and risen Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
