Oh, Jesus, King and Lord of the
Church: I renew before you my unconditional loyalty to your vicar on Earth,
the Pope. You've chosen to show us, through him, the true and sure path
we must follow in the midst of confusion, unquiet and unrest. I firmly
believe that, through him, You rule us, and sanctify us, and under his
leadership we form the one true Church: Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Grant
me the grace to love, live and promulgate his teachings like a faithful
son. Protect his life, enlighten his understanding, give his spirit strength,
defend him from lies and evil. Quiet the erosive winds of infidelity and
disobedience and let Your Church remain united around him, firm in growth
and works, so that he will be your instrument for our salvation. Amen.
