Prayer for the Pope

Let us pray for our Most Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, 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. Amen.

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

Let us pray

O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the Faithful, graciously look down upon Thy servant Pope Benedict XVI, whom Thou hast been pleased to appoint Pastor over the Church, grant, we beseech Thee, both by word and example, he may edify those over whom he is set and together with the flock committed to his care, may attain eternal life, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

“I firmly hold, then, and shall hold to my dying breath and belief of the Fathers in the charism of truth, which certainly is, was, and always will be in the succession of the episcopacy from the apostles. The purpose of this is, then, not that dogma may be tailored according to what seems better and more suited to the culture of each age; rather, that the absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from the beginning may never be believed to be different, may never be understood in any other way”

"In our time more than ever before, the chief strength of the wicked lies in the cowardice and weakness of good men... All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the easy-going weakness of Catholics. Oh! If I might ask the Divine Redeemer, as the prophet Zachary did in spirit: What are those wounds in the midst of Thy hands? The answer would not be doubtful: With these was I wounded in the house of them that loved Me. I was wounded by My friends, who did nothing to defend Me, and who, on every occasion, made themselves the accomplices of My adversaries. And this reproach can be leveled at the weak and timid Catholics of all countries."
