The Most Eminent and Most Reverend
Lord Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church
Joseph Ratzinger
Who assumes for Himself the name
BENEDICT XVI
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd Benedict a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care may he, as successor to the apostle Peter and vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love, and peace for all the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
