Pray for Cardinal Electors

Prayer for the Conclave - 2025

O Eternal Father, Lord of Mercy and Guardian of the Church, You have called home Your servant, Pope Francis, the 266th successor of Peter. In Your infinite compassion, receive his soul into the glory prepared for Your faithful servants. Pardon his human frailty, magnify his virtues, and grant that he may now rest in the peace of Christ whom he proclaimed with courage, tears, and tenderness. May the angels lead him into paradise, and may he gaze forever upon the Face of Divine Love.

As the See of Peter stands empty, we turn to You with reverence and deep trust. Send forth Your Holy Spirit upon the College of Cardinals, gathered now in solemn conclave. Inflame their hearts with a holy fear of You, and silence every voice that is not Yours. Choose for Your people a holy shepherd—Faithful to the Deposit of Faith, bold in charity, humble in authority, and radiant in holiness. A man of silence and fire, rooted in prayer, whose life is hidden in Yours.

Let him be a true son of Mary, an echo of Christ, and a watchman unafraid of the night. Jesus, Divine Bridegroom of the Church, You prayed that Peter’s faith may not fail. We cling to that promise.

In this time of mourning, purify Your Church; in this time of waiting, strengthen her soul. Mary, Mother of the Church and Star of the New Evangelization, wrap your mantle around the Cardinals as you once did around the disciples in the Upper Room. Intercede for them—obtain for them docility, discernment, and daring.

 We ask all this through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You, Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.       Amen.

 Novena in Memory of Pope Francis

 We continue to pray for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis as we give thanks for his life of service as our faithful shepherd.
