O God, the Pastor and Ruler of all the faithful, look down, in Thy mercy, upon Thy servant N. [here mention the pope’s name], whom Thou hast appointed to preside over Thy Church; and grant, we beseech Thee, that both by word and example he may edify all those who are under his charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may arrive at length unto life everlasting. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, etc. Amen.
