A prayer for the Pontificate of Pope Francis:

Christ, + have mercy.
Christ, + have mercy.

Christ, hear us.
Christ, graciously hear us.

Lord, look upon us in our Faith; do not despise us for our sins; grant us mercy, we pray, and deliver us from the hands of Your enemy.

Blessed Mother, ever-pure, look with kindness upon your children who suffer in exile, and lead us by Your most beautiful hand, to the fruit of your womb, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us pray. O God, who did'st promise that the gates of Hell should not prevail against your pure spouse, our Holy Mother Church, protect Her from the ravages of impurity, protect Her from the wolves who prowl about Her. We turn to You, humbled by our sins but filled with the everlasting hope of your mercy, and beg your supplication for the pontificate of Pope Francis. and beg that you would send Your Holy Angels to deliver him and us. Look upon Your people, O Lord, and save us now.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...

Hail Mary, full of grace...

Hail, O Heavenly Ladder from which God descended.

Hail, O Trauma of Demons.

Save us, + O Wisdom Superseding the Logic of Man.

Save us, + O King of Kings.

Save us, + O Holy One.

Save us, + O Lord.

May these present supplications from impure lips, O Lord, be pleasing to You, and may You always help us to accept Your Will, to conform to Your Will, and to seek You ever more closely. Through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth, in the unity of the Holy Ghost One God forever and ever.
