Dear Friend,
As Pope Leo continues his recovery, there has been an outpouring of prayer for his health from all over the world. Fr. James Martin, S.J., wrote this beautiful prayer for the Pope that was published in America magazine.
God, at the very dawn of creation, you breathed upon the waters, making them the wellspring of creation.
In those same times, after your divine breath entered into Adam’s lungs, you gave life to all humanity.
When your Son, Jesus, died on the Cross, He offered his very last breath to you, his heavenly Father. After the Resurrection, when you breathed new life into your Son, He, in turn, breathed on his disciples and gave them the gift of the Holy Spirit.
In our time, that Holy Spirit guided the cardinals in their election of Pope Leo XIV. Now we turn to you and ask you to fill his injured lungs with that same Holy Spirit, making him strong and healthy, and removing any trace of illness.
As Leo faces treatment, give him all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially fortitude. Guide the actions of his doctors, nurses and caregivers, giving them the Spirit’s gifts as well, especially wisdom and knowledge.
Finally, help your Son’s Vicar, and our Pope, Leo, trust in you, Both now in his time of illness, during his treatment and after his recovery.
Come, Holy Spirit!
Amen.
We offer our prayers for the Pope and for everyone recovering from surgery and all of those who care for them.
