I actually like this link a little better than the original thread here on CAF. It chooses automatically the cardinal you are to pray for. So, no agonizing (or judging!). They all need our prayers whichever way you go.

I think it would be neat if people who have a Cardinal to pray for, would like to post a picture and/or some details about him. This way we might learn a little about these princes of the Church.
 
Looks like the website is on overload! Hope it is because so many people want to adopt a cardinal.

Soon after reaching the obligatory retirement age of 75 for nuncios, he was on 22 January 2011 appointed Vice-Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, or Vice-Camerlengo (Chamberlain) of the Holy Roman Church, which means that, during a vacancy in the Papal See, he is first in authority after the cardinals, and is entrusted with the surveillance of the conclave, to which no one is admitted without his permission.
