Prayer for the Conclave, courtesy of CAFOD
Loving God,
We pray for the Cardinals gathering to elect a new Pope,
that they may be open to the Spirit
and filled with wisdom and courage.
May the Shepherd they choose be a builder of bridges,
a witness to the dignity of all people,
a steward of the precious gift of the earth,
who will lead all your people
to bring to life your love and justice.
Amen
