R. Et super filium tuum quia confirmasti tibi.
Let us pray.
OGod, the Pastor and Ruler of all the faithful, look down, in your mercy, upon your servant, Francis, whom you have appointed to preside over your Church; and grant, we beseech you, that both by word and example, he may edify all those under his charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may arrive at length unto life everlasting.
Through Christ our Lord.
Oremus.
Deus, omnium fidelium pastor et rector, famulum tuum Franciscum, et quem pastorem Ecclesiæ tuæ præesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei, quæsumus, verbo et exemplo quibus præest, proficere; ut ad vitam una cum grege sibi credito sempiternam.
Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
R. Amen.R. Amen.
