The Conclave to Elect the Next Pope will Begin May 7

Prayer to the Holy Spirit for the Conclave:

Almighty God, we pray that the conclave brings us a Pope who pleases You, guiding Your Church to grow in faithfulness to You. We humbly ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit upon the Cardinals. May they listen attentively to Your promptings and choose the most humble and faithful man to lead the Church as Your Vicar on earth. 

Holy Spirit, be present with the Cardinals, inspiring their decisions with wisdom and discernment. May they be guided by Your Spirit to choose a leader who will faithfully represent Christ and unite His Church. We place our trust in Your divine plan and pray that the conclave will bring forth a Pope who will serve with humility and love, leading the Church toward holiness and unity. 

Amen.
