June 27, 1992: The Episcopal Consecration of Our Holy Father 

Ad multos annos, Pope Francis! The Holy Father celebrates the 30th anniversary of his episcopal consecration today.

On this happy occasion, let us pray for the Pope:
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Francis,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;
Grant, we pray, that by word and example
he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
