Today, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI celebrates his eighty-second birthday.
In the charity of your prayers, please offer a prayer for the Holy Father today, and encourage your children to do the same:
.Oremus pro Pontifice nostro Benedicto
May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed on the earth, and not hand him over to the will of his enemies.
May your hand be on the man at your right hand.
And over the son of man whom you have chosen for yourself.
Let us pray.
God our Father, Shepherd and Guide, look with love on Benedict your servant, the pastor of your Church. May his word and example inspire and guide the Church, and may he, and all those entrusted to his care, come to the joy of everlasting life. Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Happy birthday, Holy Father! Ad multos annos, gloriosque annos, vivas, vivas, vivas!
