We join with Catholics around the world in wishing Pope Leo XIV a happy 70th birthday today, September 14th.
Let us pray for him…
All-good and generous Lord,
watch over our Holy Father, and in your goodness,
keep him in your care.As we go about our daily lives, remind us to share our Catholic faith
with conviction and charity, following the example of our Pope.Give us each day the depth of your love to pray for our leader
with an undivided heart.Keep us focused on the mission of your Church, that Christ may bless
all keepers of the faith, especially our Holy Father when he teaches,
preaches, and lives God’s love and mercy for all to imitate.Through Christ, our Lord,
Amen.
