Prayer for Pope Benedict XVI

God our Father, shepherd and guide, source of eternal life and truth, give to your newly elected shepherd, Benedict XVI, 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, the Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. May he be the visible centre and foundation of our unity in faith and love. May his word and example inspire and guide the Church, and may all those entrusted to his care, come to the joy of everlasting life.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
