Praying for Pope Francis

The Gesu Church community joins with Catholics throughout the world in praying for our Holy Father, Pope Francis, in this moment of suffering in his life. We invite you to pray alongside us by using the words of this prayer from the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) website:

O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Francis,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;

Grant, we pray, that by word and example
he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
