Today let us pray for the Holy Father Pope Francis, who has especially asked for our prayers during this Year of Mercy.
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
Look favourably on your servant Francis,
Whom you have set at the head of your church as her shepherd;
Grant, we pray, that by word and example
He may be of service to those over whom he presides
So that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
He may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
One God, for ever and ever.
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
