Novena for the Papal Conclave: Day 9

Join Fr. Mike Schmitz for the next 9 days as we pray a novena
leading up to the Papal Conclave. Each day, we’ll lift up the
Cardinal electors as they prepare to discern the next pope, calling
on the Holy Spirit to guide this historic decision. Pray with us
for free on the Ascension App!
https://link.ascension-app.com/Conclave Romans 12:4-5: “For as in
one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the
same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and
individually members one of another.” O God, we pray in union with
the whole Church for the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the
Cardinals. Holy Spirit, we ask you to guide the Cardinals through
the conclave and grant them wisdom, courage, hope, and charity. We
pray that the Cardinals may listen attentively to you, and ask you
to grant them the faith to discern your holy will. Heavenly Father,
we beseech you, protect and guide your Church during this conclave.
Grant us, in your great love, a Pope who guides your Church to grow
in faithfulness towards you. May he be a shepherd of profound faith
and hope, leading your Church ever closer to you. We pray, in
Jesus’ name, together with the intercession of Mary and all the
Saints. “Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and
kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and
they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.”
