Please pray for our Holy Father...

In Detroit, Polish-American Cardinal Adam Maida, a longtime friend of the pope, issued a suggested prayer for the pope:

“Father of all life, we ask your special blessing and protection for our Holy Father on earth. We pray that through his suffering we may deepen our own faith in the mystery and hope of sharing in Christ’s Resurrection. According to your will, restore him to the service of your church and keep us all in your peace.”
