Sweet Jesus, through Your tender love for the Church, Your Spouse, You opened to her the riches Your Sacred Heart; grant that our hearts may be enriched by the treasures it contains and replenished with its overflowing and unfailing delights.

Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love of You.

Prayer for the Papal Visit

 

God of truth and love,

your Son, Jesus Christ, stands as the light

to all who seek you with a sincere heart.

As we strive with your grace

to be faithful in word and deed,

may we reflect the kindly light of Christ

and offer a witness of hope and peace to all.

We pray for Pope Benedict

and look forward with joy

to his forthcoming visit to our countries.

May he be a witness to the unity and hope

which is your will for all people.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 

Our Lady, Mother of the Church, pray for us.

St Andrew, pray for us.

St George, pray for us.

St David, pray for us.
