Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace;

Let us rejoice in the Spirit
who helps us grow in faith
as we search for truth our whole life long.

All praise be yours, My Lord
through all that you have made.
And first my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day…
How beautiful is he, how radiant in all his splendor!
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.

Be with our new Shepherd, Pope Leo XIV,
In his service of the Church.

Fill him with the power of your Spirit,
the peace of your presence
and the compassion of Christ.
