The homily could offer the opportunity to reflect on the Petrine ministry and its role within the Church. It also affords the homilist an opportunity to instruct the faithful in the relationship between the local and the universal Church.
The following models can be used at all the Masses celebrated during the time after the new Pope is elected.
For N., our Pope: May he be the visible center and foundation of our unity in faith and love, we pray to the Lord:
For N., our Pope: may his word and example inspire and guide the Church, we pray to the Lord:
For N., our Pope: may God grant him a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love as he leads the Church entrusted to his care, we pray to the Lord:
For our new Holy Father, N., that he may be strengthened as he embarks on his ministry of unity, love and peace, we pray to the Lord.
That our recently elected Holy Father, N. , working together with the bishops of the Church, may build up the Body of Christ in peace and in joy, we pray to the Lord.
That our newly elected Holy Father N., may be a champion of the poor, a reconciler of nations and a force for peace and unity in our world, we pray to the Lord.
Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer may also be celebrated and on days when there is no obligatory memorial, feasts or solemnities, the closing prayer may be taken from the Mass for the Election of a Pope or Bishop.
