News reports today indicate that the Pope is becoming increasingly weary and frail. He’s turning 85. However, at times when people are addressing him he also is showing signs that he’s not engaged. He can no longer meet individually with Bishops. The coming Christmas services and his responsibilities have shown this weariness.

Please pray for our Pope.

God Bless Him and keep him.

I agree that we all must pray for the Pope, but you musn’t always believe what you read. There are many reasons why certain factions would want to emphasize his tiredness (who wouldn’t be exhausted with his schedule?), and make little comments here and there about Pope’s who have resigned. They also did this with Pope John Paul II… long, long before he actually started to become physically incapacitated.

Lord, you are our health and salvation. Through the merits of Jesus’s sufferings, have mercy on Pope Benedict, heal him and grant him Your strength. Amen
 
Oh! Lord heal your Shepard Pope Benedict XVI. Guide his every step with the light of your divine love. Bless him and protect him from all evil. Amen.
 
This is a busy time of year for him so he might be a little tired. I pray hes our Pope for a long time.

That’s strange.

I usually say the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for the Pope’s intentions at the end of my Rosary but last night I felt the need to add the Apostle’s Creed to it too.

He has been a lovely Pope, should we pray for his body or his soul or shall we just pray for him and let God decide?

:highprayer:
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

God will decide but I hope that God’s plan includes to give him more time.
 
God please give strength to Pope Benedict XVI and keep him healthy so that he may continue to guide us. †
