my name is Eric Quevauvilliers.
3
00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:05,839
I’m joining you today
4
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:10,744
to share the late Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention
5
00:00:10,744 --> 00:00:12,746
for the month of June,
6
00:00:12,746 --> 00:00:15,315
which is that the world
7
00:00:15,315 --> 00:00:17,083
might grow in compassion.
8
00:00:18,785 --> 00:00:20,353
Pope Francis said,
9
00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:23,123
“Let us pray that each one of us
10
00:00:23,123 --> 00:00:24,958
might find consolation
11
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:28,561
in a personal relationship with Jesus,
12
00:00:28,561 --> 00:00:30,096
and from his Heart,
13
00:00:30,096 --> 00:00:32,932
learn to have compassion on the world”.
14
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,368
We You give thanks
15
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:37,137
for Pope Francis’ life,
16
00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:40,340
and we pray that Pope Leo XIV
17
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:43,143
will continue Francis’ legacy of compassion.
18
00:00:44,077 --> 00:00:45,445

19
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:49,416

Pope Leo the XIV.
26
00:01:05,031 --> 00:01:07,033
Thank You for choosing,
27
00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:08,668
in Your divine wisdom,
28
00:01:08,668 --> 00:01:12,372
a man of faith, humility, and courage;
29
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:15,475
a servant shaped by the charism
30
00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:17,744
of Saint Augustine, who seeks You
31
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:19,345
with a restless heart
32
00:01:19,345 --> 00:01:22,882
and longs to build Your city of love and truth.
33
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:27,353
Lord, we praise You for his humanity
34
00:01:27,353 --> 00:01:31,124
and his deep desire to walk with Your people,
35
00:01:31,124 --> 00:01:33,259
listening, discerning,
36
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:35,628
and leading with compassion
37
00:01:35,628 --> 00:01:36,930
and conviction.
38
00:01:37,397 --> 00:01:38,932
You have given us
39
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:41,367
in Pope Leo XIV a shepherd
40
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:42,669
of Your own heart,
41
00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:45,138
a man formed by community,
42
00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:47,507
rooted in contemplation,
43
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:49,976
and alive with the fire of the Gospel.
44
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:52,812
At this time in our Church
45
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:54,948
and in our world,
46
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:57,317
we need a spiritual father,
47
00:01:57,317 --> 00:01:58,685
a bridge-builder,
48
00:01:58,685 --> 00:02:00,720
a voice of truth and tenderness.
49
00:02:01,721 --> 00:02:04,924
Make Pope Leo XIV a channel of Your grace,
50
00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:06,659
a sign of unity,
51
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:09,496
and a beacon of hope for all nations.
52
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:13,600
Strengthen him with the wisdom of Your Spirit,
53
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,003
surround him with the prayers of the faithful,
54
00:02:17,003 --> 00:02:20,707
and guide him always in the footsteps of Christ,
55
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:21,774
the Good Shepherd.
56
00:02:23,109 --> 00:02:25,612
We entrust him to You, O Lord,
57
00:02:25,612 --> 00:02:29,215
through the intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church,
58
00:02:29,215 --> 00:02:31,918
and Saint Augustine, his spiritual guide.
59
00:02:32,552 --> 00:02:33,286
Amen.
