PRAY: DAY 4 | ROSARY NOVENA FOR THE CONCLAVE: May is the month of Mary. Ave Maria! During these days, Bishop Earl Boyea of Lansing is inviting us to join him in praying the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary to ask that the Holy Spirit informs and inspires the elector cardinals of Church who will gather in conclave within the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, beginning May 7, to choose a new successor of Saint Peter as Bishop of Rome. Today we pray the Glorious Mysteries. They are:
1. The Resurrection of Our Lord (Mark 16:6)
2. The Ascension of Jesus Christ into Heaven (Mark 16:19)
3. The Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles (Acts 2:4)
4. The Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven (Judith 15:9-10)
5. The Coronation of Our Lady as Queen of Heaven (Revelation 12:1)Concluding prayer:
O Lord, guide the Cardinals as they gather. Send Your Holy Spirit: Grant them wisdom and right judgment, so that they may elect a shepherd after your own Heart, who will please you by his holiness, confirm his brothers in the truth, and tend to your people in love. We ask these blessings in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.
