Lord, the source of eternal life and truth,
give to Your shepherd, Francis, a spirit
of courage and right judgment, a spirit
of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity
to those entrusted to his care, may he,
as successor to the Apostle Peter
and Vicar of Christ, build your Church
into a sacrament of unity, love and peace
for all the world.
Amen.
