🙏 Please join us in prayer for Pope Leo XIV as he prepares for surgery in the coming days. 🙏
May God guide his medical team and bless him with a successful surgery and a recovery.

🙏 **PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR POPE LEO XIV**

During his Sunday Angelus address today, October 11, Pope Leo XIV announced that he will undergo surgery in the coming days to remove a nodule discovered in his lung during recent medical examinations.

The Holy Father shared that the nodule was detected at a very early stage and is well localized. Following the advice of his physicians, he has decided to proceed with surgery.

As the Holy Father prepares for this procedure, we invite all the faithful of our diocese to join Catholics around the world in lifting him up in prayer.

May our loving and merciful Lord watch over Pope Leo XIV, guide the hands of his surgeons and medical team, and grant him a successful procedure, a full recovery, and renewed strength as he continues his ministry as Shepherd of the Universal Church.

We entrust our Holy Father to the loving intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church.

**Our Holy Father has asked for our prayers. Let us respond with hearts united in faith, hope, and love.**

🙏 Our Lady, Health of the Sick, pray for him!
