Prayers for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI were been requested from the Diocese of East Anglia family by Bishop Peter Collins on Wednesday 28th December 2022.
His Holiness Pope Francis has today informed the Universal Church that the health of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has suffered a sudden and grave deterioration.
Bishop Peter has asked the entire diocesan family to pray for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI whilst entrusting him to the abiding care of God’s providential grace and mercy.
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
