MARCH 13:
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ELECTION OF
POPE FRANCIS (2013). AV AND PRAYER FOR THE POPE.

As the entire Church celebrates the 11th Papal Anniversary of Pope Francis, let us offer to God prayers and sacrifices asking for our Holy Father, “the sweet Vicar of Christ (St. Catherine of Siena)” on earth.

PRAYER FOR THE POPE

V. Let us pray for N., the Pope.
R. May the Lord preserve him, give him a long life, make him blessed upon the earth, and may the Lord not hand him over to the power of his enemies.

V. May your hand be upon your holy servant.
R. And upon your son whom you have anointed.

Let us pray. O God, the Pastor and Ruler of all the faithful, look down, in your mercy, upon your servant, N., whom you have appointed to preside over your Church; and grant, we beseech you, that both by word and example, he may edify all those under his charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may arrive at length unto life everlasting. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

Our filial gratitude to your prayers, sacrifices and self-giving to tend us, Christ’s flock.
Thank you for showing us God’s face and
reminding us of his name: Mercy.
History will remember you as
the Pope of Mercy.
May you always be docile to the Holy Spirit!
Praying for you daily…
Ad multos annos!

Happy Anniversary,
dearest Pope Francis!
