Prayer for Cardinal-designate Gregory
Gracious and loving God,
Grant, we pray, that, Cardinal Gregory be filled with the grace to remain ever faithful to Christ and His Gospel.
In accord with Your holy will, may he be constantly obedient to the Holy Roman Apostolic Church, to Blessed Peter in the person of the Supreme Pontiff Pope Francis, and of his canonically elected Successors.
Fill him with strength and wisdom to maintain communion with the Catholic Church always, in word and deed.
Give him a spirit of prudence to use the God-given gifts of intellect and will to do what is right and good in all things.
For the benefit of the holy people of God, guide Cardinal Gregory with your Holy Spirit to carry out with great diligence and faithfulness those tasks to which he is called in service to the Church, in accord with the norms of the law. Amen.
