How about this quote for today?

Monday, April 18, 2005
Easter Weekday

For the Election of a Pope
First Reading:
Psalm:
Gospel:
Hebrews 5:1-10
Psalm 89:4-5, 21-22, 25, 27
John 17:11, 17-23

Take heed not to foster thy own judgment, for, without doubt, it will inebriate thee; as there is no difference between an intoxicated man and one full of his own opinion, and one is no more capable of reasoning than the other.

-- St. Francis de Sales

I like that! St. Francis de Sales was such a good teacher.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the Hearts of Your faithful and kindle in us the Fire of Your love.

Send forth Your Spirit and we shall be recreated
--And You will renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray:
O God, Who did instruct the hearts of Your faithful people by the Light of Your Holy Spirit, grant that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Be with each and every one of the gathered Cardinals during this conclave, O Lord, and keep their hearts open to the work of your Spirit, that in the end, they will select the pastor for the Church that we need, to your glory.

Amen.
