NOVENA  FOR  POPE  BENEDICT

 

In union with other traditional Mass communities throughout the world, we recommend the Novena for the Pope that the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) has initiated in support of our Holy Father's emphasis on tradition in Liturgy and Faith. The 9 days of this novena can be started whenever you choose; many Catholics will no doubt be offering it as a perpetual novena for our Supreme Pontiff throughout his glorious reign as the Vicar of Christ.

 

Within the Mass, this novena can be offered within the sermon. After the readings of the Epistle and Gospel, everyone kneels for the novena, following which the priest continues with his homily.

 

One Our Father,   3 Hail Marys,   One Glory Be

V. Let us pray for Our Sovereign Pontiff, Benedict.
R. May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed

     upon the earth, and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.

V. Thou art Peter,
R. And upon this Rock, I will build My Church.

Let us pray,
Almighty and everlasting God, have mercy upon your servant, Benedict,

our Sovereign Pontiff, and guide him in your goodness on the way of

eternal salvation; so that, with the prompting of your grace, he may desire what pleases you and accomplish it with all his strength.

Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Mother of the Church,         R. Pray for us.

Saint Peter,                       R. Pray for us.
