A Request for Prayers: Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

We join with Pope Francis in asking all Catholic faithful in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and throughout the world to unite in prayer for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as his health is declining. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort him, and when it’s his time grant him a peaceful passing to his eternal reward.

Archbishop Jerome Listecki, Auxiliary Bishop James Schuerman & Auxiliary Bishop Jeffrey Haines

Let us pray. 
Almighty and eternal God, 
You are the everlasting health
of those who believe in you. 
Hear our prayers for your sick
servant Benedict for whom we
implore the aid of your tender
mercy, through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
