May the Lord preserve our Holy Father

Pope ________________,

give him life,

and make him blessed upon earth,

and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.

LET US PRAY:

O God, 

the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful, 

in Thy mercy look down upon Thy servant, 

Pope __________________,

whom Thou hast appointed to preside over Thy Church, 

and grant we beseech Thee 

that both by word and example 

he may edify those who are under his charge; 

so that, with the flock entrusted to him, 

he may attain life everlasting.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
