PRAYER FOR POPE BENEDICT XVI

The following prayer is recommended to be said each day for Pope Benedict
XVI
during "The Year of Faith" and throughout his reign as the Vicar of Christ.


Lord, look kindly on our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI and strengthen him
with all the graces necessary to perform his duties as Your Vicar here on
earth.
Guard and protect him from all evil. Grant him excellent health of mind and
body. Empower him to transform the world through Your most Holy Being.
Empower
him to convert sinners and warm the chilled heart that has grown cold. Bless
the
Holy See over which he presides in Your place so that they may all be one as
You
prayed at Your Last Supper. Enkindle the fire of Your love in him and in all
the
faithful so that together we may work towards fulfilling Your Most Holy Will
for
us and the whole world. Amen.
