Praying for Pope Francis

Pope Francis has been diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs, and the Vatican is reporting that his latest tests continue to reveal a “complex” medical picture. Please join us as we pray with the whole Church for Pope Francis’ health and leadership.

Almighty ever-living God, eternal health of believers,

Hear our prayers for your servant, Pope Francis, who is sick:

Grant him, we implore you, your merciful help,

So that, with his health restored,

He may give you thanks in the midst of your Church.

Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
