A Prayer for Pope Francis on the Tenth Anniversary of his Election to the Papacy:

Today, Monday 13 March 2023, marks the tenth anniversary of Pope Francis’ election to the Papacy: 

 

O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favourably on your servant Francis,
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, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
