Prayer for the Election of the Supreme Pontiff

This prayer is from Father Chad Ripperger:

Lord Jesus Christ, by entrusting to St. Peter and his successors the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, thou didst establish the office of the papacy. Grant to thy Church, we beseech thee, a pope who, in his dedication to the Sacred Tradition of the Church, will seek to govern the Church according to the Deposit of Faith and for the salvation of souls.

Immaculate Mary, Mother of the Church and queen of Confessors, we consecrate to thee the conclave and the election of the Holy Father. Blessed Mother, look not upon our sinfulness or upon the infidelity of many Catholics who do not accept the teaching of thy Son, but upon the Church which is the spotless Bride of thy son, so that we do not get the leader we deserve, but a Holy Father who will guide the church for the glory and honor of thy Son. Amen.

How can you be more receptive to His plans?

-St. Teresa Benedicta

The great gift of our redemption

Holy Thursday

His eyelids closed, — lay Christ of all our world,

The winds with endless sorrows seemed enswirled;

A little fountain murmured of its pain

Reflecting the pale sickle of the moon;

Then was the hour when the Angel brought

From God’s high throne the Cup of bitter horn,

While on His hands tears trembling fell like rain.
