Begin nine days of prayer asking the Holy Spirit to guide the Church as it prepares to choose a new pope. In these quiet moments of intercession, we entrust the conclave to God’s providence.

As the Church waits in hope, we continue our novena. May the Holy Spirit prepare the hearts of the Cardinals for the task that lies ahead.

Let us ask the Lord to grant wisdom and clarity to those who will enter the conclave. May they be attentive to the voice of the Spirit.

The Church belongs to Christ. As we continue this novena, we pray that His will may be done in the election of a new shepherd.

Today we ask that God raise up a holy pope—faithful, courageous, and devoted to the Gospel.

May the new pope be a source of unity and peace. Let us continue to pray as one body, in faith and trust.

Today we pray especially for the Cardinals—those who will gather soon in solemn responsibility. May the Lord grant them grace and courage.

As the conclave approaches, we turn to the Holy Spirit with hope. The Church is in His hands.

Today is the final day of the novena. Let us pray with one heart and one voice: Come, Holy Spirit. Renew Your Church.
