God, our loving Father, we ask Your blessing on Pope Benedict XVI upon the occasion

of his resignation.

Thank You for his years of dedicated leadership in which he faithfuly administered the mysteries of Your forgiveness and love.

Thank You, too, for the outstanding pastoral care he has so lovingly offered us as our Holy Father. May Your Holy Spirit continue to guide him as he now walks a new path.

Gracious God, bless the future of Your Holy church as it now moves forward to choose a new Pope, a new spiritual leader for Your Catholic people.

We pray for the Cardinals as they gather for their Conclave to select the new successor to Saint Peter. With the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, may they choose a worthy steward of Your faith to meet the challenges of today’s world.

We ask all these things in Jesus’ name.Amen.
