God, eternal Shepherd, you guide your Church with unfailing care.
As the Cardinals prepare to elect a new Pope, send your Holy Spirit upon them, including our Cardinal Mykola Bychok of Australia.
Grant them wisdom and unity, that they may choose a shepherd after your own heart.
“Grant, we pray, almighty God, that your Church may be governed by a shepherd who will please you by his holiness and show your watchful care.”
May the one chosen be a man of faith, a builder of peace, and a servant of the Gospel.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Our Lady, Mother of the Church, — pray for us
Saint Peter, — pray for us
