A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, March 15th

Good Morning, God
Today we give you thanks for your quick answer to the prayers!  On Wednesday morning we prayed for your wisdom to be with the College of Cardinals as they sought your will for the next Pope, the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church.  You answered our prayers, Lord, almost in record time, if we can say this.
Latin American Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglo – as he takes the name and position of “Pope Francis”.   So now we pray for the leadership of “Pope Francis”.  Give him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, of counsel and might, and the fear, the awe of you, Lord.  May he seek your face with every decision, with every missive, with every interpretation of scripture and every offering of pastoral care.
Also, now we pray for the fellowship of the membership of the Roman Catholic Church, including those of our local parishes.  May each person heed their faith, follow their leadership, pray for their Pope and seek your will and guidance for their own lives under your authority and the authority of the Holy Catholic Church.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
