& grant us the rest we need
that we may be ever more willing to serve you.

Risen Christ saves Adam & Eve by Michèle Lévesque
Be with our Shepherd Pope Leo
in his service of the Church.
Fill him with the power of your Spirit,
the peace of your presence,
and the compassion of Christ.
May he walk with you
in wisdom and humility,
and lead us together with all God’s people
to embody your love for the world.
