Lord, may your kingdom come.

Through your presence, guide the college of bishops in union with the Pope,

Lord, may your kingdom come.

Bind all Christians more closely to yourself, their divine Head,
— lead them to proclaim your kingdom by the witness of their lives.
Lord, may your kingdom come.

Grant peace to the world,
— let every land flourish in justice and security.
Lord, may your kingdom come.

Grant to the dead the glory of resurrection,
— and give us a share in their happiness.
