May the Lord in His infinite mercy look upon the prayers, tears and sacrifices of all true Catholics who love our Mother Church, who in these days humbly and confidently implore the infinite Mercy of God to grant us a new Pope, who burning with the zeal for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls, will “strengthen the brethren in faith” (Luke 22:32), being uncompromisingly faithful to his name and duty as Successor of Peter and Vicar of Christ on earth.
May through a new Pope, burning with the zeal for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls, the Lord defend the flock of Christ from the intruding wolves of unbelieving and worldly churchmen who unabashedly are burning incense before the idols of the ideologies of the age, spiritually poisoning thereby the life of the Church, which resembles to a storm-lashed ship, in which “the bilgewater of the vices increased, and the rotten planks already sound of shipwreck,” as Pope St. Gregory the Great upon assuming the Papal office described the state of the Roman Church in his time.
May through a new Pope, burning with the zeal for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls, the Lord come to the assistance of the Apostolic See, which in our day is spiritually laying in chains, resembling to the material chains in which the Apostle Peter were put at the beginning of the life of the Church, freeing the Apostolic See from the chains of the alignment with the materialistic, morally depraved and anti-Christian globalist agenda of this world.
May the Lord grant us a new Pope, who burning with the zeal for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls, will be ready to defend the integrity of the Catholic Faith, of the Catholic Liturgy and of the Church discipline, if necessary, at the cost of the supreme witness of his life out of love for Jesus Christ and the immortal souls.
May all true sons and daughters of the Church implore the grace of the election of a new Pope, who will be fully Catholic, fully Apostolic and fully Roman. This they can do through prayers, especially with Holy Hours of Eucharistic Adoration, the Holy Rosary, priests and bishops through offering the sacrifice of the Mass in this intention, and also through personal sacrifices, which can consist in patiently bearing one’s life’s crosses, corporal and spiritual pains, corporal mortifications, fasting and especially acts of supernatural love for God and the neighbor.
We believe that the Lord will come to the assistance of His Church, which in our day resembles a ship in the night “in the midst of the sea, laboring in rowing, for the wind is against her.” May the Lord come again “about the fourth watch of the night, walking upon the sea, and saying: Have a good heart, it is I, fear not.” (Mk. 6:47-50)

YOU DIDN’T DO SO WELL LAST TIME!!!!!
Let us hope the new Pope is Vigano.
Or Burke.
Coincides nicely with our MILLION ROSARIES FOR THE UNBORN for Motgers Day Weekend.
One supports the other.
I am going to Rome next week (on a trip planned for the jubilee!). My b+b is a 4 minute walk from St. Peter’s square. White smoke anyone? I am truly blessed!
