HABEMUS PAPAM! LEO XIV

With great joy, we have received the news from Rome that a new Holy Father has been elected by the Sacred College of Cardinals. United with the whole Church throughout the world, we thank God for His Providence in giving to the Church a new Supreme Pastor.

 

Let us pray for Leo XIV, our pope. May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. Amen.

Fourth Sunday of Easter

The death of one pope and the election of a new Successor of St Peter is always a moment of grace and renewal for the whole Church throughout the world. As we thank God for His gift to us of Pope Francis, may he rest in peace, so we thank God anew in the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.

The task of the pope is both a simple but profound one: to be faithful to the teaching of Christ and the Apostles. The pope is the principal of unity in the Church and the supreme pastor. We must pray for him every day. Thank God we now have a new pope. May he be blessed with many years, and as the traditional prayer for the pope has us borrow the words of the Psalms: May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. Amen. Let us make this prayer our own. God bless Pope Leo.
