of courage and right judgment, a spirit
of knowledge and love.
with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle
Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love
and peace for all the world.
Amen.
V/ Let us pray for Benedict, the Pope.
R/ May the Lord preserve him, give him a long life, make him blessed upon the earth, and not hand him over to the power of his enemies.
V/ May your hand be upon your holy servant.
R/ And upon your son, whom you have anointed.
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory Be
This has been heavy on my heart and I believe we all need to be praying for Pope Benedict as he travels to England!
Novena = nine days
Double novena = eighteen days
and more if the Pope needs it!
Please post prayers and pictures during these eighteen days.
Thanks. I worry about his safety. There is so much unvarnished hatred and the abetting of hatred in the media some deranged person might take it into his mind to attempt to harm him.

God Bless and Keep the Holy Father
Worries me too. When you see the invective of those who hate Catholics in general and the Vicar of Christ in particular, as expressed by a few on this forum, it leaves no doubt that the Holy Father is always in danger from the Evil One, as we all are.
I will pray Divine Mercies.
Thanks Salvation. We know the flack(Anti- Christian Media) already in England. Which has become a strange nation that has sharia law practiced blocks or regions in London. I think London might be the next target.
Thanks, I know the Pope will appreciate your prayers.
Prayer bump
Thank you for this! May God keep him safe and strong.
Will start this Novena today and a Rosary.
Thank you Salvation for posting.
Praying the Novena for the Pope’s safe trip to England.
