Heavenly Father,

We humbly place our beloved Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, into Your loving and merciful hands.

Surround him with Your peace. Strengthen his body, comfort his heart, and grant him courage in the face of uncertainty.

Guide the hands and minds of his doctors, bless those caring for him, and, according to Your holy will, restore him to health.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary wrap him in her maternal mantle, and may the Holy Spirit sustain him with unwavering faith and hope.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
