It is very odd to think that at this moment in time, the Holy Father has officially resigned (1pm CST, 8pm Italy) and we are without our beloved Pope.
Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of Thy Faithful (Cardinals).... (and the unfaithful ones).
Yes, it's a very strange feeling, and definitely a time for more prayer. I was gifted to be able to pray for Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera, Archbishop of Mexico City, Mexico. And his birthday is on the feast of St. Norbert, and my son is a Norbertine, studying to be a priest. God is good!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very strange.
ReplyDeleteGo and check out my blog about adopting a cardinal and see who I got! ;)
God bless you, Julie.
Love,
Kristen in TN
Ok, Kristen, now that is hilarious. Cardinal Mahoney, you must quite the prayer warrior. Just wondering out of curiosity if you prayed to the Holy Spirit or not before you entered your name for your adopted Cardinal? :) Can you imagine what it must be like to be a Cardinal right now wondering if you'd be the next pope? Then again in a rare circumstance any man could be a Pope so maybe there are priests and men at large concerned they are "the one" haha. I know a local priest who could straight up the whole works in a jiffy I'm quite sure. Of course it would lead to quite a bru-ha as well. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, Julie, I did pray to the Holy Ghost before I hit the button. ; )
DeleteI just watched the footage on EWTN of the Pope leaving the Vatican. What an emotional event. The Cardinal I adopted was Donald Wuerl, from USA, born 12.11.1940. He's been a Cardinal since 20.11.2010 and his function is: Archbishop of Washington, United States
ReplyDeleteWe got Cardinal Barbarin of Lyons, France. He is an extraordinary form Mass guy! We watched EWTN today too, God bless them for live streaming the footage!
ReplyDeleteWe prayed to the Holy Spirit with trepidation, then pushed the button. We got Cardinal Walter Kasper! Imagine our shock. God's Will, we guess... Lisa and the Golden girls
ReplyDeleteI live under a rock, what kind of Cardinal is Cardinal Walter Kasper?
ReplyDeleteI will adopt Cardinal Ravasi. He is my favorite
