「上主，我們的天主，求祢賜予教宗方濟各安康和强健，使他這次期待已久的訪問順利成行。求祢降福他為加强對話及兄弟修和，以及他為建立信任、鞏固和平及人性尊嚴的價值作出的努力，尤其為我們伊拉克人民，也就是痛苦事件的見證者付出的心力。

上主，我們的造物主，求祢以祢的光明照亮我們的心，使我們看到善與和平，並開始予以實現。

聖母瑪利亞，我們將教宗的牧靈訪問託付於妳的護佑，藉此祈求上主賜予我們恩寵，使我們在國家的圓滿共融中生活，以兄弟間的合作為我們的國家和國民建設一個更美好的未來。亞孟。」

"Lord our God, grant Pope Francis health and safety to carry out successfully this eagerly awaited visit. Bless his effort to promote dialogue, enhance fraternal reconciliation, build confidence, consolidate peace values and human dignity, especially for us Iraqis who have been through painful “events” that affected our lives.

Lord and Creator, enlighten our hearts with Your light, to recognize goodness and peace, and to realize them.

Mother Mary, we entrust Pope Francis’ visit to your maternal care so that the Lord may grant us the grace of living in full national communion, and to cooperate fraternally to build a better future for our country and our citizens. Amen."
