Today, we pray for Pope Francis

Lord Jesus, today we – thousands of believers, humbly kneel at Thy feet and beg Thee to bless and protect our Papa Francis, as he celebrates his 77th birthday. Lord, He is the father of a great fellowship and our spiritual guide as well. We pray that he will always remain in Your anointing, completely a man of Your choice. Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to Your shepherd a spirit of courage, wisdom and right judgement. May this new successor of Peter and the vicar of Your church, Lord Jesus Christ, build Your church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Bless his health and his loved ones too. Amen.
