Oremus.
Deus, omnium fidelium pastor et rector,
famulum tuum (Nomine: Franciscum), quem pastorem Ecclesiae tuae praeesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei, quaesumus, verbo et exemplo, quibus praeest, proficere: ut ad vitam, una cum grege sibi credito, perveniat sempiternam. Per Christum, Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Let us pray.
O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful, look mercifully upon Thy servant (Name: Francis), whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church: grant him, we beseech Thee, that, by word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, he may attain everlasting life. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the Pope by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII(Reigned:20 February 1878-20 July 1903)
“O Lord, we are the millions of believers, humbly kneeling at Thy feet and begging Thee to preserve, defend and save the Sovereign Pontiff for many years. He is the Father of the great fellowship of souls and our Father as well. On this day, as on every other day, he is praying for us also, and is offering unto Thee with holy fervor the sacred Victim of love and peace.
Wherefore, O Lord, turn Thyself toward us with eyes of pity; for we are now, as it were, forgetful of ourselves, and are praying above all for him. Do Thou unite our prayers with his and receive them into the bosom of Thine infinite mercy, as a sweet savor of active and fruitful charity, whereby the children are united in the Church to their Father. All that he asks of Thee this day, we too ask it of Thee in unison with him.
Whether he weeps or rejoices, whether he hopes or offers himself as a victim of charity for his people, we desire to be united with him; nay more, we desire that the cry of our hearts should be made one with his. Of Thy great mercy grant, O Lord, that not one of us may be far from his mind and his heart in the hour that he prays and offers unto Thee the Sacrifice of Thy blessed Son. At the moment when our venerable High Priest, holding in His hands the very Body of Jesus Christ, shall say to the people over the Chalice of benediction these words: “The peace of the Lord be with you always,” grant, O Lord, that Thy sweet peace may come down upon our hearts and upon all the nations with new and manifest power. Amen.”]
Please pray for Philippines, a Catholic Nation that was struck by the disastrous Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. O brothers and sisters, only if you see how the suffering of our brothers and sisters in there. Some of them still not able to rebuild their life, some are missing and still not found, some has lost hope, some is very poor even before Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda.
Do not think that we are ignorant to their suffering, we knew and we keep it inside our heart. Only inside our prayers from the deepest of our soul that we are able to cry it out loud to ask mercy and forgiveness from the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Nomine Patris, et Filli, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
