PRAYER FOR POPE FRANCIS AS HE VISITS THE USA



PRAYER FOR POPE FRANCIS AS HE VISITS THE USA

Heavenly Father, who bestows on your children gifts of love and truth, we thank you for giving us Pope Francis to be our holy shepherd.  As he visits us in the United States, keep him safe in his travels. Grant him wisdom, understanding and prudence in his interactions with other world leaders, and help us to truly hear his messages with open minds and hearts.  Before we judge, let us pray that we will discern Your will in his words and actions, and give us the grace and courage so we can embrace the challenges that are presented to us.  As our heavenly Mother, the Virgin Mary, said “YES” to Your call to her, strengthen us to say “YES” to your call to us, too.  We ask all this through Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.
