'''Oremus pro Pontifice''' is a very ancient prayer for the Pope (''Pro Pontifice nostro''). This version is taken from the collection ''Cantus selecti'', published by Solesmes in 1957, page 230*. According to the same volume (''Cantus Selecti''), the author of this version of the song is Dom Joseph Pothier himself<ref>Cantus Selecti, pag. 313*: "'''187. Oremus pro Pontifice.''' - Cantus I. Textus psalmi 40, v. 1. Auctor melodiae est Dom Pothier O. S. B. (+ 1923)."</ref>.
