Prayers for Pope Leo

We are glad to share this image from Pax inter Spinas, the printing house of the Monastère Saint-Benoît in Brignole, France, with the traditional prayers for the Pope said at Benediction and other occasions, and the name of the newly elected Leo XIV added in its proper place to the “Oremus pro Pontifice nostro” and in the collect.

I make bold to share the words of His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, who urges us “to pray fervently for Pope Leo XIV that Our Lord, through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Peter the Apostle, and Pope Saint Leo the Great, will grant him abundant wisdom, strength, and courage to do all that Our Lord is asking of Him in these tumultuous times.”

I also thought our readers might like to see this, the notarial certificate by which Cardinal Prevost’s acceptance of his election and choice of papal name are formally recorded, signed by the papal master of ceremonies, Abp Diego Ravelli, the Vice-Camerlengo, Bp Ilson de Jesus Montanari, and two of the other masters of ceremonies, Marco Agostini and Massimiliano Boiardi.
