Dear Saint,

Kindly pray for the Holy Pope that he would lead the Church in humility and poverty to the faith which Christ demands of the faithful, that is the faith of the size of a mustard seed. Enable him to lead the Church through the narrow path which would take her to eternal life. For we know the path which is wide leads us to worldly vanities and sensual pleasures, ensnaring us to hell fire. Let all the faithful in absolute obedience follow the Holy father, especially the cardinals, bishops, priests and nuns. Amen.
