Lord,
With your great mercy, guide our new father, Pope Leo the 14th, to guide our Church through these difficult times. Give him discernment and love and let him know your presence. Let him bring peace and unity to a war torn world both physically and spiritually. In this time of confusion, let him bring understanding. In this time of immortality, holiness. And in this time of reform, new life. Protect him from the evil one and give him courage to seek and proclaim the truth! Thank you for the gift of who he is to the Church and being faithful once again to let us know your presence on earth through the keys of St. Peter. Whatever he binds and looses may we listen with love.
Amen!
