Awaiting the New Shepherd
The installation of the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel signals the commencement of the conclave—a moment of anticipation and hope.
As we watch for the white smoke, symbolizing the election of a new pope, let us reflect on the unity and continuity of the Church. This ritual not only marks a new chapter but also reaffirms our collective faith and commitment to the teachings of Christ.
Jesus, I trust in You!
“May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede with her maternal intercession, so that the Holy Spirit will enlighten the minds of the Cardinal electors and help them agree on the Pope that our time needs.”
