Prayer for the Pope, Restoration of Catholic Order and World Peace
By Hamish Fraser, RIP
O Heavenly Father, Who didst choose Blessed Peter to be the firm Rock on which to build thy Church, grant to the successor of Blessed Peter, His Holiness John Paul II [Pope Francis] all graces necessary to enable him effectively to sanctify, teach and govern the Church so as to restore Catholic Order in all of its many institutions.
Grant also to the Bishops of Holy Mother Church, successors to the Apostles, whom Thou didst choose to assist Blessed Peter as labourers in the harvest, all graces necessary to enable them become effective instruments for the restoration of Catholic order, by sanctifying, teaching and governing their dioceses under the direction of Peter and in full accordance with the mind of Holy Church as indicated by .the consistent and therefore infallible teaching of successive oecumenical Councils and Pontiffs.
Grant also to any Bishop who should so falter in obedience and loyalty as to become an obstruction to, rather than an instrument for, the restoration of Catholic order the graces necessary for his conversion so that he may become truly worthy of his privileged office: and should he fail to correspond with such graces as have been abundantly bestowed, grant him O Lord the grace of a happy death so that he may make way for the appointment of a successor uncompromisingly dedicated to the restoration of Catholic order under Peter.
Grant also to Thy humble servants the grace that above all things, we may learn to detest and fear sin which offends Thee, results in the eternal perdition of souls, and is the cause of evil in every shape and form; grant therefore that we may seek to do Thy will, so that by our prayers, penances and sacrifices we may merit the graces whereby the Holy Father and the Bishops of the universal Church may be enabled to fulfil the demand of Our Lady of Fatima, consecrate Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart, and thus obtain peace for the world.
