Eucharistic Prayer with Pope

[xmensch07]

I have been wondering for some time what the Holy Father says during the Eucharistic Prayer instead of una cum famulo tuo Papa nostro N. (together with your servant our pope N.). I know that when the Bishop of the diocese celebrates mass he says et me, indigno famulo tuo (and me, your unworthy servant). Does the Holy Father say the same thing since he is the bishop of Rome or is there something else that is singular to him that he says?

Thanks.

You’re right- the Pope says the same thing (“una cum me indigno famulo tuo”). I’m not sure if he mentions local bishops when he celebrates Masses away from his diocese (as is customary for ‘ordinary’ bishops).

The Holy Father makes reference to himself only.

Even when the Holy Father has concelebrants, his is the only name mentioned in the Canon. Furthermore, if he is in Rome, he is also the only name mentioned because not only is he the Supreme Pontiff; he is also the Bishop of Rome. When he is away from Rome, his name is also the only one mentioned because he has universal jurisdiction.

I suspected this to be true as well, but apparently not always:

With hands extended, he continues:
We offer them for your holy catholic Church,
watch over it, Lord, and guide it;
grant it peace and unity throughout the world.
We offer them for me, your unworthy servant,
and my brother Edward, the Bishop of this
Church of New York,
and for all who hold and teach the catholic faith
that comes to us from the apostles.
