Pope Leo XIV Prayers

Dearest Pope Leo,

We pray that God guides you as you lead the Catholic Church. We pray that you usher in a new era of peace, prosperity and justice for all – Catholics and non-Catholics alike. We pray that your Papacy is long and productive for all of the people you represent (which is everybody!)

God bless you with good health, wisdom, and a light-hearted zest for the formidable and commendable task you are undertaking.

God bless you.

Adam and Joanne Tomecko

“It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”
Thank you for accepting the burden and we pray for you to be an example to the world and that you have people to support you in All trials just as Barnabas supported Paul.

Bless Pope Leo and keep him dear Lord and under Our Ladys Mantle. AMEN

May Pope Leo XIV Be a shepherd after the Heart of God

HOLY FATHER, I AM A LOYAL SERVANT & a Knight of Columbus. I am ready , WILLING, and able to PROTECT,PRESERVE,AND DEFEND THE TEACHING OF CHRIST. LMK. IF YOU NEED ME TO LOCK AND LOAD FOR JESUE!!!
HOW CAN ANYONE DENY THE TRUTH!!! Please respond.

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, I can’t remember a time when I was so moved by a Pope.

I come before you an imperfect child humble as I know with a prayer of intercession for Pope Leo XIV. Please give to your shepherd 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 and Vicar of Christ, build and bridge your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. May God bless and protect Pope Leo XIV.
Amen.

I pray for Pope Leo XIV as he leads us closer to Christ. I know this will not be an easy task for Pope, and yet he has responded to the call of the Cardinals and the Holy Spirit. What a blessing to unexpectedly share a nationality with our Pope! Greetings from Richmond, California, in the Diocese of Oakland.

Father,

Before I send my deepest congratulations to You, I must express my sorrow: The lost of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was deep & profound–the release of the Cardinal intensified my mourning for Pope Francis of Assisi. “Please, Pray for me.”

Pope Leo XIV, Keep Close to the Ear of GOD, it (Your Relationship with God; Your Palpacy; and your personhood) is closer than you may realize. Much LOVE & all the best to you and your leadership in the church.

Salam and salud

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Pope Leo X1V. Gratitude is what we express at the gift of the Holy Pontiff. Father, we ask you to continue to cover, guide, lead and protect him as he leads your church in this groaning world. Holy Spirit grant him your gifts of wisdom and deep discernment. Blessed Jesus, we pray this in Your mighty name. Amen

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you, grant you to strength to speak truth to power, and the courage to continue leading through contextual pastoral ministry.

Ever-loving and Gracious God,

We ask you to pour abundantly into the heart of Your servant Pope Leo IV
the tender love and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the wisdom and strength of the Holy Spirit.

Guide him to lead Your holy church,
Christ’s Mystical Body, into deeper and deeper unity amidst diversity,
and help him, along with his brother bishops,
to find renewed structures to empower all the baptized
to bring Your healing love into all the broken places of our world.

Sustain him and refresh him daily with abundant joy and peace of heart
as he shoulders the awesome responsibilities of the role You have entrusted to him.
We ask for these blessings and graces through Christ our Risen and Redeeming Lord. Amen.

Prayers from Mother of Good Counsel in Hazard, Kentucky. May Mary watch over your papacy and provide good counsel to lead the Church. May you keep listening to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Blessings and Peace.

Blessings to you, Holy Father, as you embark on this new ministry. Thank you for being Christ’s hands and feet in our world, and for inspiring us to do the same!

Please pray for healing for my children. One has a rare neurological disorder—she suffers beyond comprehension and our whole family has been exhausted, stressed, and afraid for her (and our) future. We are desperate for comfort and relief. My son fell and broke his collarbone today, and we ask for prayers for his healing as well. It’s been a devastating season of trials for us.

Holy Spirit, be like tongues of fire upon your servant, Pope Leo XIV, giving him courage and understanding, that his words may ignite your love within those who hear them.

Lady Wisdom, invite him in to your abundance, that he may trust that there will be enough for all and that what he offers will never go to waste.

Bring him your peace. May he know you are with him always. May he know there are always those who stand with him. Give him consolation of heart and spirit that him may speak from true hope and freedom.

Come Holy Spirit.

Gracious and loving God, we pray for our new Holy Father Pope Leo XIV and give thanks to you for blessing us with another Good Shepherd. We are grateful for his first words reminding us that God loves everyone and for his dedication to the poor and the marginalized. We humbly ask you to send him your Holy Spirit and your abundant peace as he begins his new ministry, through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary. Amen.

Dear Holy Father,
Please be assured of the prayers of the Society of Jesus. I am a fellow alumnus of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, DMin 2005-2007, and was baptized in 1969 by one of your Augustinian confrères at St. Patrick’s Church in San Diego, California, which was my mother’s family’s parish. I have been a Jesuit for 35 years and a priest for 24 years. Currently I am serving at a parish in East Los Angeles. We are praying for you!
Fr. Steve

Thank you, Pope Leo, for being you.

Peace.

Congratulations, Your Holiness!
May God abundantly bless your ministry and all those entrusted to your care.
It is a great honour to count you among our alumni.
Blessings from Hong Kong!

Through the grace and wisdom of the Holy Spirit, may Pope Leo shepherd our divided and needy world towards Unity, Truth, Love and Peace, and be guided to use the abundant gifts of women and men in the laity to spread the healing and inclusive mission of our Catholic Church.
May our prayers, love and unconditional support be a source of sustenance for our Holy Father in all his actions and the challenges confronting him.

May God abundantly bless Pope Leo XIV’s papacy, may the Holy Spirit guide him as a source of light, joy, humility, and grace for all the world to see, and may Christ Jesus be his closest companion, dearest friend, and inspiration.

Papa León XIV, por favor sus oraciones para mis hijos Reynaldo y Laura Ramos Valdés, para que Dios siempre esté a su diestra, que tengan una larga vida llena de amor, prosperidad y salud, y que tengan protección divina, ante cualquier enfermedad o accidente, y que el demonio no los pueda tocar. Amén. Gracias. Un cordial saludos desde Saltillo, Coahuila, México, y mis oraciones para que Dios Cristo lo acompañe siempre en su ministerio papal.

May God bless you with the grace you will need to lead the Church in our day. May you continue in the service, humble presence, and joyful giving that is evident in the Peruvian stories we have read this week!

Peace to you!

Good and Gracious God, we praise and thank you for Pope Leo XIV. In the holy name of Your Beloved Son Jesus Christ, and with the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary and St. Michael the Archangel, please protect, guide, and bestow Your wisdom and grace upon the Holy Father, keeping him safe, healthy, and happy as Christ’s shepherd and servant of Your servants in the Catholic Church. Amen.

Conversion of Brother Eddie and whole family.
Healing of my whiplash

May the Holy Spirit give you wisdom to lead our Church wisely, understanding to keep your heart open to all people and patience to change those things necessary according to God’s time. May the Blessed Mother, along with Augustine, Monica and Rita watch over you!

I pray that you will always be open to the Holy Spirit, will follow where she leads you even when the path seems difficult, and will allow her to inspire you as you teach us how to be a more listening, synodal, missionary Church.

Dear God, Please help Pope Leo XIV to be able to use his numerous talents to help unite the world and bring others closer to you.

Asunto: Petición de perdón, bendición y guía espiritual

Santísimo Padre:

Reciba un cordial saludo en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Mi nombre es Sandra Milena Zuluaga Rincón, identificada con cédula de ciudadanía N.º 41.929.215, tengo 51 años de edad, miembro de la comunidad cristiana en la iglesia Casa sobre la Roca, ubicada en la ciudad de Armenia, Departamento del Quindío, Colombia.

Desde el momento en que fue elegido como Sucesor de Pedro y líder de nuestra Iglesia, he sentido en mi corazón un fuerte pálpito espiritual, una convicción interior que me ha impulsado a escribirle estas palabras con profunda fe y humildad.

Hoy me acerco a usted, no solo como creyente, sino como hija necesitada del perdón de Dios. Reconozco que he cometido errores en el lugar donde laboro; errores que han traído consecuencias difíciles a mi vida, tanto en lo disciplinario como en lo legal. Me duele profundamente haber fallado y haberme alejado del testimonio que como cristiana debo dar. Por eso, acudo a usted, Santo Padre, para pedirle perdón como hija de la Iglesia, y para suplicarle su oración y bendición apostólica, ya que me encuentro atravesando un momento de gran prueba personal.

Anhelo que el Señor me conceda la oportunidad de restaurar lo que he dañado, de reparar el mal con bien, y de reencontrarme con Su misericordia. Le ruego que, si es posible, eleve una oración por mí, para que pueda asumir con humildad las consecuencias de mis actos y encontrar redención, guía y fortaleza espiritual.

Gracias por su ejemplo de amor, por su servicio al Evangelio y por ser instrumento de reconciliación y esperanza.

Con respeto y fe me despido, confiando en su intercesión paternal.

My daughter Avril suffers of one seizure a month and for the past two years the doctors cannot figure out why. They started out of the blue when she was at her school in California. If she can receive his blessing and prayer

May the Lord make his face shine upon him, and be gracious unto him:
May The Lord lift up his countenance upon him and give him peace.

A BLESSING FOR OUR NEW POPE

Gracious and loving God, source of all good and of all wisdom, we ask that you pour out an abundance of your Spirit today on your son, Leo, our new Pope.

Fill him with joy unexpected and make him laugh as your visitors did for Sarah behind her tent flap at Mamre.

Embolden him with courage in the midst of diversity and an unbending commitment to justice as you did our ancestors in faith—Deborah and Judith and Esther– who protected your people.

Help him discover life where others find only barrenness, as you did with your daughter, Hannah.

Vindicate his hopes as you did when Jesus, that glorious child of promise, came into the arms of Anna and Simeon in your temple.

Open his heart both to the joy of contemplation and to the generosity of service, as your Son did for Mary of Bethany and Martha her sister.

Console him with your loving presence in moments of loss or confusion, as Jesus did with his beloved Magdalene in the garden of resurrection.

Affirm his hospitality and graciousness, as did your apostle Paul in accepting Lydia and her household as his home in Philippi.

Strengthen him as a leader of your people, as you did for your Deacon Phoebe at Cenchreae, friend and mentor and co-worker of Paul.

Receive and bless and protect him, dearest Christ, as you did that anonymous woman in Bethany who, alone among your disciples, embraced you with precious fragrance and anointed you for your mission.

Christ, son of the living God, make him a vessel through which your life courses into our world, as the Spirit did for your mother, Mary of Nazareth.

Risen Christ, Wisdom Incarnate, who expounded the scriptures in Nazareth, who enflamed hearts with his words on the mountain in Galilee, who spoke with courage to the religious leaders in the Temple portico, who gathered his disciples in community, bless and abide with Leo today, bless his leadership, bless the faculty and students and staff of CTU, bless the world we are dedicated to serve.

Amen.

This blessing was composed by Donald Senior, CP, then President of CTU for my inauguration as Vice President and Academic Dean of CTU on September 12, 2009. I feel he would want this blessing to be upon you now, with only the name and pronouns changed. Barbara Reid, O.P., President

Viva il Papa!!!!

Yes

We pray that God the Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit endow Pope Leo XIV, the wisdom and grace to discern God’s will and to act with grace and decisiveness.

May God bless you with courage and compassion as you meet our God each day in the eyes and lives of the people of this universe. Peace

Our Lady of Good Counsel,
Stay close to Pope Leo. He faces a difficult and daunting and lonely journey.
Help him find the wisdom to shepherd your people wisely and the prudence to take care of his own spiritual and psychological needs that he may be our Papa for many fruitful years.

Dear Heavenly Father,

May you bless Pope Leo XIV and guide him in his leadership over the Church. May the poor and those vulnerable feel his love, empathy, and compassion as they look to create better lives for themselves and their communities.

Amen.

Su Santidad:

Me encuentro inmensamente feliz por su elección. Como peruano ,como Prevost y como católico confirmado me pongo a su disposición para lo que usted estime conveniente.
Yo vivo en Lima – Perú y soy descendiente de Samuel Stanhope Prevost Smith que llegó al Perú en 1825 procedente de New York USA, probablemente tengamos lazos familiares, tengo datos que puedo sustentar.y me encantaría saberlo.

Cuando estuvo usted en el Callao como administrador apostólico pensamos acercarnos al obispado del Callao en Bellavista, pero vino la pandemia y ya no pudimos hacerlo, rezaré por usted y siga bendiciendo a su Perú que lo necesita tanto ante tanta injusticia y abuso, permítame reiterarle mi total disposición a servicio suyo y de la iglesia, mi admiración y cariño.

I am at home with Pope Leo XIV. I believe God has blessed us with a multicultural holy Father, a man with a missionary’s heart and a universal vision. May the Holy Spirit, who brought him to us, allow him to know, understand, and do God’s will. May the bishops and the communion of saints ardently support him and may a new unity spread in our communities through the Catholic Church. –Mattie McClane

Dear God,
I ask you to allow Pope Leo to experiece our love and support fully. Please assist all of us to remember that we do not need to speak or act in judgement.

May our God who is gracious to all bless and keep Pope Leo XIV in perfect peace as he works to bring the peace and Light of Christ to our world. In thanksgiving for our shared fabulous education at CTU, and our abundant hope that God is still calling women and men to religious life as Sisters, Brothers and Priests, may Pope Leo’s service to the Church and the world enliven and expand a culture of vocations that makes room for all to hear and answer God’s endless call. The National Religious Vocation Conference is praying for you, and working with you, Pope Leo! With LOVE!

That the new Pope faithful to CTU’s motto, bold and faithful, may walk within thine line of fidelity to the Gospel and respectful approach to other religious communities of good will. That he may ask for help to those who were trained in each area beyond the one the Curia already knows. let us pray to the Lord.

Blessed Trinity, our love flows out into the universe and saturates it with mercy and justice. Our Creator Father, blessed are you for creating our world and many other worlds of beautiful creatures through our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Exemplar and the Savior of all created things. Through Him, you bring us into an intimate relationship with You. Holy Spirit, comfort us and lead us. Comfort us as we continue to mourn for Pope Francis I. We give you thanks for Francis’ Spirit-filled and faithful servanthood and for giving us him to love and cherish.

Holy Trinity, bless our new Pope, Leo XIV, and work with him as he serves us with a fruitful and gospel-informed magisterial presence that blesses all with his wisdom and goodness. Accompany him and give him courage as he confronts moral and systemic evil; be by his side as he names it at such. Lend Your beauty and presence to moments of joy. Smile on him often to refresh him so that he relishes the work you have given him! Bring all Catholics together, unite them as they thrive under his leadership. Assist him as he reaches out to other faithful people in interreligious and ecumenical dialogue.

We praise You and give You thanks daily for your wonderful gift of this man to the world. Give us all peaceful ways and teach us how we may grow closer to you, day-by-day, as we strive to live the gospel message. AMEN!

Loving God, thank you for Pope Leo. Please continue to animate him with your love for all creation, especially for the poor and vulnerable. Bless him with joy and prudence in his new ministry. Protect and guide your servant Leo as he leads your Church in Earth. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

May you guide Pope Leo XIV in his ministry as he faces challenges in a changing world and Catholic Church;
May he carry the legacy of a universal and unified church, and continue to unite Christians worldwide;
May he teach us how to be followers of Christ and missionaries of the Good News;
Grant him wisdom and courage to lead us in his ministry as the Successor of Peter;
May his love for Jesus continue to grow as a Pope so we can continue to recognize his resurrection;
May he continue to advocate for migrants, indigenous people, the poor, and every person that feels isolated;
Bless his family, his birth and childhood place in Chicago (Dolton), his seminaries (CTU), his university, and the place where he spent over 30 years as a missionary (Chiclayo, Perú).

Santa María de Guadalupe; ruega por el Papa León XIV para que su ministerio refleje la vida de tu hijo Jesús en el mundo, así como tu te mostraste como nuestra madre en la tilma de Juan Diego y nos acercas cada día a tu hijo. Te pido que ruegues por el Papa.

In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirt. Amen

Dear Pope Leo the 14th,

As an ELCA Lutheran I managed the Fortress bookstore at LSTC starting in August of 1982.

I know that you had graduated from Catholic Theological Union earlier in that same year. And I can only assume that you purchased books at some point in the basement of LSTC. You might even still gave some textbooks you used back then.

Know that I was so blessed to have worked with all of the professors of CTU back for over 5 years.

I was so thrilled when I heard of your election as Pope and personally knowing if your connection to CTU.

I am praying for your continuing ministry to the global world as well as all of your colleagues in Rome. Your words on the balcony after your election are resonating all around the globe and you continue to preach the good news of Jesus to all.

Blessings always.

A Prayer for Our New Pope, LEO XIV

God of all people, In trust and gratitude, we turn to your Holy Spirit. We know your Spirit has been active during this time of conclave, guiding the prayerful discernment that has brought your Church to this important moment. Now, as Pope Leo XIV assumes the Petrine Ministry, we pray that your Spirit draw ever closer to our new Holy Father, illuminating his path so that he may faithfully see and respond to the needs of your people.

We pray that Pope Leo XIV be strengthened in his ministry. May he continue building bridges that connect us to one another. May he be an example of faith, hope and love. We pray that you give him joy in his work and a renewed fervor for your Gospel message. May he never lose sight of Christ who walks before us and among us — particularly in the most vulnerable, the forgotten and the outcast.

Christ Jesus, bless Pope Leo XIV — and bless us, your holy people, as together we strive to be your Body in our wounded world.

Amen.

Gott segne, den neuen Papst Leo XIV !
Möge der Heilige Geist ihm Worte und Zeichen geben, die die Welt berühren.

Lo Spirito Santo regali al nuovo Papa la sensibilità di toccare i cuori dei Romani come la loro guida spirituale !

Dietmar Denzler – Nürnberg / Norimberga/ Nuremberg – Germany

As prayed at St Peter’s Melbourne Australia Anglican Church today:

Let us pray with thanksgiving for Pope Leo XIV as he begins his Petrine ministry and for all our brothers and sisters in the Holy Roman Church as we seek unity and peace in the Church and the world. Let us also pray that he preach a gospel of love, inclusion, hustice, and peace, proclaiming Good News to the poor.

Almighty God, grant our Pope Leo XIV the strength to lead with wisdom and compassion. May he find courage in Your presence and be guided by Your divine light. Amen.

May God and His Blessed Mother watch over Pope Leo XIV and may his papacy bring blessings on our suffering world.

Thank you Lord Jesus for giving humanity this wonderful man to lead and guide us in this time of violent conflict among nations, usage of famine nd starvation as weapons of war and growing destruction of our beautiful earth. May Pope Leo X1V be lifted in daily prayers throughout his life. Amen

DEAR EXCELLENCY POPE XIV

I wish to congratulate His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his election as the 267th Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, following the passing of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in April.
The first citizen of the United States to hold this sacred office, Pope Leo XIV has exemplified unwavering service and dedication to the Church and humanity at large, surely such qualities that render him deserving of this profound responsibility.
On this occasion, marking yet another historic transition for the Church, I extend my best wishes to Catholics all over the world and to the broader Christian community.

I sincerely hope that the new Pontiff will continue to strengthen the bonds of Christianity and universal values for all three World Monotheistic religions of champion compassion and justice, and tirelessly advocate for global peace above all in Palestine and Ukraine .
May God Almighty continue to bestow his bountiful blessings upon us all.

Dear Pope Leo XIV,
Congratulations on becoming our Pope! May you be blessed by the Trinity of our Gracious God to carry out your time as Pontiff, by bringing peace to the world so badly needed. Sister Martha Mathew, O.S. F.

May God provide Pope Leo XIV with the graces of openness, courage, strength and health as he amplifies the concerns of the poor and marginalized, advocates for peace and justice and builds unity and bridges throughout the globe. Amen!

Lord Jesus, may you bless your Pontiff — your servant — with the fullness of your grace and your Spirit, that all the earth may know your name, that the poor and needy may be raised with dignity, and that the Church may honor you in all of her ways. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Thank God for giving us a new Pope with much theological knowledge and experience in evangelization, friendly to the poor, living a simple, honest and courageous life. May the pagans of today receive the good news and grace of Jesus through the guidance of Pope Leo XIV. We have followed his example and cooperated with him to spread the good news, grace, healing and salvation of God to all people and all nations. Amen.

With great humility, grateful for the election of Cardinal Prevost, I beg you, great God, in favor of our Pope Leo XIV. I ask you for the intercession of all the Saints in his favor. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Praise be to Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gracious and loving God,
please bless Pope Leo XIV with joy as he serves our Church and the world;
bless him with perseverance when challenges weigh on him;
bless him with the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ in the knowledge he is not alone but supported in our daily prayers.
Thank you God for the gift of Pope Leo XIV.
Amen

I am overwhelmed with joy, gratitude, emotion, and puzzlement, like Elizabeth during the Visitation of Mary, that my spiritual director for a brief time in 2014, is now Pope! I pray in Thanksgiving for your total gift of self to be the Vicar of Christ to the whole world. May Christ’s love continue to transform you as your heart rests in His. May the Holy Spirit be ever with you! May God protect you and provide you tons of graces! May God help all us bring His joy and peace to the peripheraries! Please pray for me too, as I minister as a hospital chaplain in North Dakota

That Pope Leo XIV be led by the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Aggiornamento, an open heart, a clear mind and a gut moved by the cries of the poor and marginalized. Live Jesus in our hearts forever!

Lord of Heaven and Earth,
We ask you to pour out your Holy Spirit upon our newly elected Pope, Leo,
That as Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church,
He may call us forth in the name of Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd,
That he may draw us near,
Closer together,
East and West,
North and South,
That we may be one, as you, the Son, and the Spirit are one.
We ask this 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

Ever-faithful God, we entrust to you the direction of our universal church with our new shepherd, Pope Leo. We pray that you will always grant him the wisdom and strength to lead the church according the signs of the times. Amen.

Loving God, please open Pope Leo and all your people to all you want to do in and through us.
Thank you

A Franciscan Prayer for the New Pope

You are the Holy One, Lord God Most High,
the one who works wonders.
You are the strong one, you are the great one,
you are the Most High and Glorious God.
By Your Spirit, You have given us a successor to Peter—
our brother, Pope Leo XIV.
Bless him, O Lord, and guard him tenderly
as he begins this sacred ministry.
Show Your face to him, and have mercy upon him
Lord turn Your gaze upon him and give him peace.
Steady his steps with swiftness and clarity,
that he may walk the pilgrim path with joy and resolve.

Let him guide Your Church securely and joyfully,
leading us along the way of prudent happiness.
May he offer his vow to You, Most High,
in the pursuit of that perfection
to which the Spirit of the Lord has called him.
As our pontiff may he embrace the poor and crucified Christ.
Let him gaze upon Jesus, our Brother and Lord—
to consider Him, to contemplate Him,
and to desire always to imitate Him.

We pray all this for Your greater glory,
for our sanctification,
for the good of all the Church
and for the healing of the whole earth.
Amen.

Pope Leo, may your heart always be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. May your ears always be tuned to listen to the poor among us. May your feet carry you on the path of Jesus. With gratitude for your life of ministry and acceptance of this role of servant on the world stage. I pray…Amen

May our loving God continue to guide you as you serve as Pope of our church and as our brother bringing all people together as one! BLESSINGS!

Praying for your continued journey and continued openness and guidance of the Holy Spirit

Querido Papa León XIV
Dios bendiga la misión que te ha confiado.
Que el Señor te ayude a seguir abriendo caminos para la unidad y la reconciliación.
Que el mensaje de Jesús sea proclamado a través de tu voz y de tus gestos.
Que tu corazón nunca se olivide de los caminos misioneros que recorriste al lado de tu pueblo en el Perú.
Cuenta con mi oración y mi cariño

I hold Pope Leo XIV close in daily prayer. May God shine light and strength for the journey ahead. God has chosen him in this time and space to bring peace and acceptance to the world. Let the light of God surround and protect him always. We are blessed. Amen
