Prayers
Eternal Majesty,
we commend to you our brother Francis,
give him the rest he so sorely needs.
Faithful Shepherd,
help us to model in our lives and ministry,
the mercy, radicalness, and missionary zeal of Your servant Francis,
that your kingdom will come.
Abiding Spirit,
guide the College of Cardinals as they pray, discern, and elect a new pope,
that that the ministry of oversight and leadership embodied in Pope Francis
may bear good fruit. Amen.
