A novena for a pope of faith: Bishop Strickland prays for fidelity and reverence

As we enter the second day of this powerful novena, Bishop Joseph Strickland turns to Jude 1:3 — "Contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints" — to implore God for a pope who will fearlessly uphold the Church’s sacred teachings. In a time of doctrinal confusion and liturgical abuse, today’s prayers focus on:

A shepherd who guards the Deposit of Faith – That the next pope may boldly reject modern errors and reaffirm the timeless truths of Catholic doctrine.

Restoring sacred worship – That the Holy Spirit will raise up a pontiff who fosters reverence for the Eucharist and ensures the liturgy reflects Heaven’s glory, not worldly trends.

Uncompromising courage – That the Church’s leader will resist all pressures to dilute the faith instead calling souls back to authentic Tradition.
