Pope mandates change in traditional Good Friday prayer

Catholic World News prints the revised text for the Good Friday prayer which is published officially in the February 6th edition of L'Osservatore Romano. The revised prayer, which has been expected for some time, now reads:

Oremus et pro Iudaeis. Ut Deus et Dominus noster illuminet corda eorum, ut agnoscant Iesum Christum salvatorem omnium hominum.
Oremus.
Flectamus genua.
Levate.
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui vis ut omnes homines salvi fiant et ad agnitionem veritatis veniant, concede propitius, ut plenitudine gentium in Ecclesiam Tuam intrante omnis Israel salvus fiat. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen
