PRAYER FOR POPE BENEDICT XVI
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd, Benedict, a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love.

Amen.
V/ Let us pray for Benedict, the pope.
R/ May the Lord preserve him,
give him a long life, make him blessed upon the earth, and not hand him over
to the power of his enemies.
V/ May your hand be upon your holy servant.

Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…
