Prayer to Pope Benedict XVI A Prayer of the Day

Prayer to Pope Benedict XVI
A Prayer of the Day 

Eternal and Almighty God, who inspired in the heart of your servant Pope Benedict XVI the sincere desire to encounter you and announce you, becoming a humble “co-operator with the truth” and offering himself as a servant, for Christ and for the Church, make me also know how to love the Church of Christ and to be able to follow in my life the eternal truths that she proclaims. Deign, Lord, to glorify your servant, Pope Benedict XVI, and grant, through his intercession, the favour I now ask of you ... 
Amen.

Pray an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.

A Prayer of the Day Prayer to Pope Benedict XVI

I encountered this prayer shortly after Pope Benedict XVI passed. And it really spoke to me. I have been trying to pray it daily since I first encountered it.
