Electing a New Pope . . .

Although we cannot actually put in our two cents on who gets to be the next pope, we can pray for a good and holy man to be elected. A friend passed on this site to me, today, and it assigns you, randomly, a cardinal to pray for during this time of deliberation.

You could adopt a cardinal for your private prayers or join in with your family to pray for a specific cardinal. It is also a good way to learn about a cardinal you might not be aware of and continue to keep him in your prayers even after the outcome of the papal election. I was assigned and adopted Albert Malcolm Ranjith of Sri Lanka. Cardinal Ranjith has been a cardinal since November 20, 2011.
