V. Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness
R. And let Thy saints sing with joyfulness.
Oremus.
We humbly beseech Thee, O Lord : that of Thy unbounded mercy Thou wouldst grant unto the holy Roman Church a Pontiff; who by his tender care towards us may ever find favour in Thy sight, and, studying to preserve Thy people in safety and in truth, may ever be honoured by us to the glory of Thy name. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let the abundance of Thy mercy assist us, O Lord : that we may rejoice to have a Pontiff pleasing in the sight of Thy majesty to be the governor of our holy mother the Church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Make us, O Lord, to rejoice in the wondrous grace of Thy majesty : that we may obtain a Pontiff meet to instruct Thy people in all godliness, and pour forth upon the minds of Thy faithful the savour of spiritual sweetness. Who livest and reignest. Amen.
[Adapted from the propers of the Votive Mass For the Election of a Pope,
as given in the English Missal, 1933 edition.]
