Black smoke has flowed out of the chimney placed upon the Sistine Chapel today. This is a good reminder of our need to pray for the College of Cardinals as they continue this task of electing a new pope.
You are the Eternal Shepherd. You protect and guide your Church from age to age.
Pour out the gift of the Holy Spirit upon your people and fill those entrusted with the election of a new Pope with the wisdom and understanding to know your will.
In your mercy, grant your Church a shepherd who will walk in your ways and be an example of goodness
so that your people may come to know and live more fully the gospel of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen.
