Prayer for a new Pope
We humbly beseech you, O Lord, that of your boundless mercy you would grant to your Holy Roman Church a Pontiff who, by his tender care of us, may ever find favour in your sight; and ever be honoured by your people, because of his good government of your Church, to the glory of your name. Amen.
-- Collect from the Mass for the Election of the Pope found amongst the Votive Masses of the 1962 Missal
Prayer for the Bishop
O Jesus, Prince of Pastors, Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, give Bishop Luis Zarama all those virtues, which he needs for his sanctification! May He watch over himself and the entire flock, with which the Holy Spirit has entrusted him! Fill his heart with Thine own Spirit! Give him faith, charity, wisdom and strength! Send him faithful co-laborers in the great work of saving and guiding souls! Make him a shepherd after Thine own heart, living only for his holy office, fearing nobody but Thee, and hoping for nothing but Thee, in order that when Thou shalt come, to judge shepherds and flocks, he may obtain the unfading reward of eternal life!
Amen.
Prayer for Priests (St. Teresa of Avila)
O my Most Sweet Jesus,
Eternal Priest, keep Thy priest,
Fr. or Msgr. (name the priest)
within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart,
where none can hurt him.
Keep his anointed hands unsullied,
which daily handle Thy Sacred Body.
Keep pure his lips which are reddened
with Thy Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unworldly his heart which is sealed
with the sublime token of Thy glorious priesthood.
Cause him to grow in love and loyalty to Thee and
protect him from the contamination of the world.
With his power of transforming bread and wine, give him
the power of transforming hearts.
Bless his work with rich fruit and
grant him one day the crown of eternal life.
Amen.
