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
