Heavenly Father,
we, the people of God,
gathered in solidarity
as did the disciples
in the Upper Room,
pray for the descent
of the Holy Spirit
upon the Cardinals
who will be in Conclave
for the election
of the next Vicar
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
May the hearts of our Cardinals open
to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit,
beyond any human judgment,
to elect the candidate
most pleasing to You,
Heavenly Father,
and who guide the Church
at this momentous
time in history.
We invoke our Mother Mary,
united in prayer with the disciples
in the Upper Room,
to intercede for our Cardinals
to select the next Holy Farther
in docility to the promptings
of the Holy Spirit,
her divine Spouse.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God
and of the Church,
we entrust this Conclave
to Your maternal
and Immaculate Heart,
and offer this prayers
for Your guidance
and protection over the choosing
of the next Vicar of Your Son.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)
Mary, Mother of the Church,
Pray for us.
