Sacred Heart Catholic Parishes of Auburn – Sacred Heart + St. Alphonsus + St. Ann + Holy Family

Welcome to the Catholic Community of Holy Family, Sacred Heart,

Lord, source of eternal life and truth,

give to your shepherd a spirit

of courage and right judgment, a spirit

of knowledge and love. By governing

with fidelity those entrusted to his care,

may he, as successor to the Apostle

Peter and vicar of Christ, build your

Church into a sacrament of unity, love,

and peace for all the world.

Amen.

Let us pray for the pope.

May the Lord preserve him, give him a long life,

make him blessed upon the earth,

and not hand him over to the power of his enemies.

May your hand be upon your holy servant.

And upon your son, whom you have anointed.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us

and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
