I can’t wait to hear these words of joy; “Habemus Papam!,” but there are many prayers and sacrifices between now and then.

Please join the Church in prayer and sacrifice.

Dear Lord, I offer my whole life to you, all of my joys and all of my sorrows, to be united to your wounded and resurrected Heart, for the election of a Pope after your own Heart.

Dear Lord, I ask that, if it pleasing to your Will, to give me a greater share of suffering and the grace to suffer well, for the election of a Pope after your own Heart.
