PRAY: PRAYERS FOR POPE LEO XIV: Of your charity, please pray for our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, who was admitted to Gemelli Hospital in Rome today. His Holiness will undergo surgery to remove a small, localized nodule in his lung which, thankfully, has been detected at a very early stage. All papal audiences are canceled through October 20, with recovery expected to take about one week. Let us pray:

V. Let us pray for Leo XIV, our Pope.

R. May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

Our Father. Hail Mary.

O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Leo XIV,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;
grant, we pray, that by word and example

he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

When St. Paul echoed the ancient command to "love thy neighbor as thyself," he tied neighborly love to the practical outworking of all the commandments. If we start here, he argues, we will never fail in doing God's work.
