Pope Benedict XVI in America Website
The Knights of Columbus have created a website to help us keep up with the Pope’s trip to America next month. It’s going to be interesting to see if they do any posting onto the blog they have built into it.
They’ve also created a prayer for his trip as well.
Almighty Father, who pours forth blessings in abundance upon us, we humbly pray that you will inspire, guide and protect Pope Benedict XVI on his pastoral visit to the United States.
Lord God, bless our Holy Father who comes as a messenger of peace and charity to all people of faith and good will.
May his presence in the United States serve to build up the bonds that unite us who are each made in your image and likeness, and may his teaching and witness strengthen the faith of the People of God.
Father, we lovingly entrust Pope Benedict’s visit to the care of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Queen of the Americas.
Through her prayers may he be preserved from all harm, and may he shine forth with the truth of the Gospel that he proclaims, and may his presence among us foster a renewal of the Church in our country.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
