I will pray for Pope Leo XIV’s profound wisdom and boundless grace to lead the Catholic Church in an era of increasing global complexity. May this wisdom enable him to bridge divides and foster deeper unity among all people, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds. I also ask for the grace to inspire widespread compassion and action to alleviate suffering and promote justice throughout the world. I pray that his leadership will increase understanding and empathy and strengthen the Church’s role as a beacon of hope and positive change in our interconnected world.

If I could make a single wish for the new Pope, I would wish him the wisdom and strength to lead the Catholic Church into a future of compassion, understanding, and unity. A future where forgiveness and healing are paramount, and where all people feel loved and accepted, regardless of their background or beliefs.

Thank God for giving us Pope Leo XIV as our new Pope. In his pontificate, may the Holy Spirit direct his path and, by the grace of God, guide him, give him wisdom and years filled with joy and a heart full of gratitude to his people. And may our new Pope continue the good work of Pope Francis, especially being close to the poor and the marginalised. May we always find his dedication to service as a source of comfort, inspiration and strength.
May God bless our Pope Leo XIV and keep him all the days of his life.

Pope Leo XIV is a leader with global experience, having spent much of his career as a missionary. We are so blessed to have him as our new pope today. I really pray and wish that our almighty God will give him more wisdom, bless him with good health and strength to teach, preach the Good News, instill in us the value of Christianity by showing good relationship with others with sincerity of heart especially for all followers of Christ!

May the Heavenly Father grant Pope Leo XIV the strength and wisdom that the word he proclaims may also give courage and wisdom to his people. We pray that we may see in him the love and concern for Jesus… We wish him abundant blessings and success in his new mission as Pope and we look forward to his visit to our country, the Philippines. May the Lord keep him and bless him, sustained by God’s grace to continue his life in God’s service with a longer term of papacy and paths filled with joy.
