A Prayer for the Pope

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.

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. 

May your hand be upon your holy servant. 

And upon your son, whom you have anointed. 

Amen. 

Fourth Sunday of Easter

 

On this Good Shepherd Sunday the risen Christ consoles us: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” What fills Christ’s disciples with joy and the Holy Spirit is this voice, which is identical with life. As with the converts whom Paul and Barnabas urged “to continue in the grace of God”, our happiness lies in our faithfulness to the tender voice of the Shepherd. For this Shepherd is also the Lamb who lives to wipe every tear from our eyes. With Saint Gregory of Nyssa we say: “How could I not love you, who have loved me so much as to lay down your life for the sheep whose shepherd you are? There can be no greater love than this, to lay down your life for my salvation.”
