No pope today. Better luck tomorrow!
Even 18-20 hours later, these are wonderful threads. Thank you for the pings Salvation!
What's happening right now on EWTN? It started at 2 AM EST and it's Solemn Mass for the Election of the new Pontiff. But then halfway through the put the "encore" tag on it. Is it from yesterday? MSNBC and FOX have the live shots of the chimney right now. It felt suspicious because I thought after the first vote they are sequestered so I am guessing it is from yesterday and the Cardinals are already in the Sistine Chapel voting now.
I know it's real early!!
This is it, Salvation!!!
This is exciting. My husband just called and asked me to call him as soon as we know who it will be.
Prayers for His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.
At which point did this become the prayer of the conclave or the faithful? The ORIGINAL prayers said from the Votive Mass for the election of a pope are as follows: "We entreat The most humbly, O Lord, that Thy boundless mercy may give the Holy Roman Church a Bishop whose loving care in our regard will always be pleasing to Thee, and by his beneficent rule will alwyas give glory to Thy name and be deeply honored by Thy people." "O Lord, let the marvelous grace of Thy Majesty gladen us by granting us a supreme Pontiff, who shall instruct Thy people in virtue and fill the hearts of Thy people with the fragrance of spiritual odors. Who livest etc..." "In Thy abundant goodness, O Lord, grant unto us, that the sacred gifts which we reverently offer Thee make us rejoice that a Pontiff, pleasing to Thy Majesty, presides over the government of our Holy Mother Church. Through our Lord..etc." "Bretheren: Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4, 16; 5 1-7)
