Good Morning, God
The headlines tell of the College of Cardinals once again meeting behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel. It wasn’t but just a few short years ago that we were praying for the collective wisdom of the Cardinals as they were meeting to select the pope who ultimately was Pope Benedict the 16th.
Now, the Cardinals must once again seek the will of you, God, for who will lead the Roman Catholic Church. Theirs is a daunting task, as it usually is when any group of believers seeks to follow your will for its life. This time, however, it seems even more difficult because of the different voices that have been speaking more loudly in these days.
The questions have become about how the new Pope will lead through the maze of issues including the participation of women, the continuing celibacy of its male clergy, the fallout from the abuse cases, in fact, most of the issues that we all face as we live between our sacred and secular lives.
So Lord, may your wisdom be upon the College of Cardinals.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
