Prayer for the Pope

As you know, prayers are being asked for Pope John Paul II. Here is one of the prayers for the pope from the Roman Missal:

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd John Paul 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. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

P.S. See From another journeying Pope.
