Pray with us through the "Nine Days of Mourning" until the papal conclave begins.
The Novena prayer consists of:
1. The Veni Creator
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come. From thy bright heavenly throne! Come, take possession of our souls, And make them all Thine Own!
Thou who art called the Paraclete, Best gift of God above, The Living Spring, The Living Fire, Sweet Unction, and True Love!
Thou who are sevenfold in Thy grace, Finger of God's right hand, His Promise, teaching little ones To speak and understand!
O guide our minds with thy blest light, With love our hearts inflame, And with thy strength, which ne'er decays, Confirm our mortal frame.
Far from us drive our hellish foe, True peace unto us bring, And through all perils guide us safe Beneath thy sacred wing.
Through Thee may we the Father know, Through Thee the Eternal Son, And Thee the Spirit of them both Thrice blessed Three in One.
Now to the Father, and the Son Who rose from death, be glory given With Thee, O holy Comforter, Henceforth by all in earth and heaven.
Amen.
2. The collect (prayer) of the Missal for the election of a Pope
O Lord, with suppliant humility, we entreat Thee, that in Thy boundless mercy Thou wouldst grant the most holy Roman Church a pontiff, who by his zeal for us, may be pleasing to Thee, and by his good government may ever be honored by Thy people for the glory of Thy name. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who with Thee livest and reignest world without end. Amen
3. An invocation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, such as:
Most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us who have recourse to Thee! |

O Holy Spirt,
as on the day of Pentecost
as you fell on those gathered
with fire and power,
be with those gathered
in a different cenecle,
asking for your guidance,
open their hearts to your promptings,
and fill them with the fire of your love,
and out of this,
we ask for the will of the Father
as they select our next pope.
Amen.

O Jesus,
you who said,
Upon this rock I will build my church
and the gates of hell will not overwhelm it,
we pray for the coming conclave,
knowing your hand will be fully on it,
that the Holy Spirit,
like living fire, will be there in their midst,
guiding the men on whose task
it is to choose the successor of Peter.
O Lord,
we pray for their hearts,
that they may hear your promptings.
We pray for their lives
that they may find the strength and dedication
to be your servants always.
We pray for your wisdom
to enlighten their hearts,
this day, and as long as you ask them to serve,
Amen.

Lord, we ask the intercession of your saints for the outcome of the upcoming conclave.
St. Ambrose, pray for us.
St. Martin of Tours, pray for us.
St. Augustine of Hippo, pray for us.
St. Patrick, pray for us.
St. Thomas of Canterbury, pray for us.
St. Charles Borromeo, pray for us.
All you holy bishops in heaven, look down upon the men called into the office as cardinals, who will be selecting the next Bishop of Rome, and intercede for them that they may walk in the ways God calls them, faithful to the church, and answer that call as the Lord sees fit.
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
St. Joseph, guardian of the Church, pray for us.
O Jesus, watch over your shepherds, and guide them with your own wisdom.
Amen.

O my Lord,
Peter was your choice,
your rock on which to anchor
the new and infant church,
Peter,
big of heart,
yet flawed
like all men,
eager to work for you,
but who stumbled.
Yet you loved him,
and knew his heart,
and called him to feed your sheep.
Are not all who have stood in his shoes,
guided your church,
spoke your message,
been our papa
been like Peter,
not perfect,
but called by you to lead?
We pray for the next who will answer the call,
we pray for the men who will choose him,
and remembering your promise,
how the gates of hell will never prevail against your church,
we know that the Spirit will be there
to guide, guard and protect.
May the Holy Spirit fill the hearts of your faithful
and enkindle in them the fire of your love,
especially the Cardinals,
and all those who are called to serve.
Amen.
