As the Holy Father remains in hospital with double pneumonia, we keep him close in prayer.
Almighty and Eternal God,
you are the everlasting health of
those who believe in you.
Hear our prayers for your sick servant Francis
for whom we implore the aid of your tender mercy,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, Health of the Sick, pray for him.
