Inspirational Friday 9/25

The Pope is in the U.S. Yay, so in honor of him, this post will be all about Pope Francis.

1. First we will start with a Quote that he spoke yesterday to Congress, "The Golden Rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development." -Pope Francis

2. A quote on Poverty, from Him: "I would encourage you to keep in mind all those people around us who are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They too need to be given hope. The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes. I know that many Americans today, as in the past, are working to deal with this problem."

3. And a Prayer for Our Holy Father's Safety and well-being:

Prayer for the Pope

 Let us pray for Pope Francis

May the Lord preserve him, give him a long life, make him blessed upon the earth, and may the Lord 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.

Let us pray. O God, the Pastor and Ruler of all the faithful, look down, in your mercy, upon your servant, Pope Francis, whom you have appointed to preside over your Church; and grant, we beseech you, that both by word and example, he may edify all those under his charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may arrive at length unto life everlasting. Through Christ our Lord.Amen.

Ta, Ta For Now!
