Prayer for Pope Benedict XVI
from the Maronite Divine Liturgy
You called him to the holy call of your lordship;
may he be the steward of your divine mysteries,
a chosen priest and a trustworthy leader;
a teacher wise in all virtue for the sake
of your flock;
a ministering priest, alert and diligent,
to whome you entrusted the keys of
the heavenly Kingdom,
that he may open the doors of repentance
to those who are brought back to you;
a praiseworthy priest,
who increases the evangelical talent
thirty, sixty and one hundred fold;
a chosen priest, who is concerned with keeping
your divine precepts.
