Praise God for Pope Leo XIV!
As we praise God for Pope Leo XIV, let us join in prayer:
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Leo XIV,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;
grant, we pray, that by word and example
he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

“I welcome the news of the election of our new Pope, Leo XIV, with joyful hope. His first words to Rome and to the world from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica were the words of greeting of the Risen Jesus to His disciples: ‘Peace be with you!’ These are simple and beautiful words of greeting from our new Holy Father, the successor of St. Peter, who expressed the desire that these words of peace enter our hearts, our families, and our world.”
– Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades
