O God, who chose your servant Leo XIV, in succession to the Apostle Peter as shepherd of the whole flock, look favourably on the supplications of your people and grant that, as Vicar of Christ on earth, he may confirm his brethren and that of the whole Church may be in communion with him in the bond of unity, love and peace, so that in you, the shepherd of souls all may know the truth and attain life eternal. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Sprit, God for ever and ever. Amen.
