A prayer from me, an American Catholic brother in the One True Faith, please share; As our Holy Father prepares for his Apostolic trip to Sri Lanka and the Philippines, January 12-19th, let us pray a prayer I wrote up for this special occasion:
“O God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, our One Triune God! We ask You to protect our Holy Father, we ask You to make him a shining example of love, wisdom, and a key tool for the New Evangelization. We ask You Lord, to open up hearts to hear his message of Mercy and Compassion, and may we learn to live out our lives in the Joy of the Gospel as our Holy Father does, we pray for those he touches many affected by various types of disasters in people’s live’s and may he renew their faith in God and in Holy Mother Church. We ask these things through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
