The United Reformed Church offers this prayer on the occasion of the election of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. It may be freely used in whatever ways are helpful.
Eternal One,
whose limitless love reaches all humanity,
bless Pope Leo in his new role,
grant him wisdom and patience as he takes up the heavy burden of office,
strengthen him in his ministry of encouragement and oversight,
that we may all be Jesus’ disciples in a world desperately needing Your light,
and signs of hope that evil will not have the last word.
Amen.
With every good wish
Andy
