For the Father of Christianity
O You, O Mary, Immaculate Virgin, Mother and Sovereign of the Church, bestow upon the venerable Pontiff who governs it in these difficult times, the most distinguished favors, and, as a reward for his ardent zeal to spread Your worship and to multiply the tributes paid to You throughout the world, obtain from Your divine Son the grace most dear to his heart: the sanctification of faithful souls and the return of lost sheep. Amen.
