Dear Friends
As the days go by since the announcement of Pope Benedict's resignation, media writers are going round in circles repeating themselves about the details and implications of the resignation
Meanwhile, the most important thing doesn't get much, if any, coverage in the media: we should be praying and fasting for God's blessing on the conclave. Every little prayer creates spiritual energy. Every little prayer for the conclave can have an effect
Before
choosing the apostles, Jesus spent the night in prayer.
Before choosing leaders, the apostles prayed and fasted.
Let's encourage one another to take this Lent more seriously than any other in our lives. Let's use the support of Lent's prayers and customs to pray for the conclave
Let's think of the conclave often during the day and night:
Father,
as I walk along the street, as I sit in the train, as I drive my car,
I pray your blessing on the conclave: Our Father....
Jesus, as I wash these dishes, I offer up
this little job to you as a prayer for your blessing on the conclave
Holy Spirit, as I use my computer for a new assignment, I offer this time to you as a prayer for your blessing on the conclave
