How to Pray for Pope Leo XIV

As Catholics worldwide welcome Pope Leo XIV, we lift him up in prayer. The weight of the papacy is immense, and our Holy Father will need grace, wisdom, and strength to shepherd the Church. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to guide and sustain him as he begins this mission.

“O God, who in your Divine Providence have bestowed on us Pope Leo XIV as the shepherd of your Church, we ask that you guide his hand in leading and unifying the faithful, keeping us always under your watchful care. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.”
