Gracious and loving God, we pray for our new Holy Father Pope Leo XIV and give thanks to you for blessing us with another Good Shepherd. We are grateful for his first words reminding us that God loves everyone and for his dedication to the poor and the marginalised. Pope Leo’s first words strongly relate to our work as a Catholic School here at St Brigid’s Wynyard. We humbly ask you to send him your Holy Spirit and your abundant peace as he begins his new ministry, through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary.
Amen
