April 19 - Day of the Pope
April 19th is the anniversary of the election of Pope Benedict the XVI. Everest Academy celebrates this as Day of the Pope. The students are learning facts about the Holy Father, and will celebrate with a few added festivities to the day including a special surprise for all the students to be announced on that day! We look forward to celebrating our Holy Father, Vicar of Christ on earth, and we ask that we all keep him in our daily prayers as he leads the universal church.
Prayer for the Pope
Christ Jesus, King and Lord of the Church, in your presence I renew my unconditional loyalty to your Vicar on earth, the Pope. In him you have chosen to show us the safe and sure path that we must follow in the midst of confusion, uneasiness, and unrest. I firmly believe that through him you govern, teach and sanctify us; with him as our shepherd, we form the true Church: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.
Grant me the grace to faithfully love, live and spread our Holy Father’s teachings. Watch over his life, enlighten his mind, strengthen his spirit, defend him from calumny and evil. Calm the erosive winds of infidelity and disobedience. Hear our prayer and keep your Church united around him, firm in its belief and action, that it may truly be the instrument of your redemption. Amen.

On April 19, 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, was elected the new Pope in the first conclave of the new millennium. He chose the name Pope Benedict XVI. Some of his words on the day of his election were: “Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me, a simple, humble worker in the Lord’s vineyard. I am comforted by the fact that the Lord knows how to work and act even with insufficient instruments. And above all, I entrust myself to your prayer.”
