Hurray! We’re well over 2/3 covered. If we can get these remaining 34 covered, then the double coverages can begin. Thanks to everyone participating and pointing the thread out in other spots on Catholic Answers!

Thank you so much, Melissa, for starting this. What an awesome idea! I’m taking Crescenzio Sepe. I’m also going to pray a Novena to the Holy Spirit for all the cardinals. Come, Holy Spirit!

You know, I’ve seen quite a few things in the media, secular and Catholic, about how the Church is in such “crisis” or “turmoil” and how the faithful are “confused,” or “anxious” (in a bad way), or whatever. I, for one, am hopeful and excited and think good things are coming in the Church with our next Holy Father, though they may be at the same time painful and may not seem “good” to many, especially outside the Church. Pruning is always painful. These are amazing and extraordinary times we’re living in. I think in the very near future God will be intervening in our world in ways that He has never done before, leaving this crop of virulent, militant, utterly prideful in their supposed “reason,” and oftentimes hateful atheists that has sprouted in recent years utterly shocked, dumbfounded, and speechless, and leading (some of them, anyway) to repent of their ways and be converted. “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” I think God has had enough of humanity’s wicked, wicked ways, including the slaughter of hundreds of millions of precious children that He has created in His own Image and Likeness and given to us to be loved and cherished, as opposed to being literally torn apart from their mothers’ wombs at the hands of supposed “doctors.” It seems to me like the cup of our (including my own, often) wickedness is full and those who would convert have converted, so that there’s no more reason for delay. Pray, pray, pray!

God bless you all.
 
I found a simular project a few days ago and adopted DE PAOLIS Velasio, C.S.
as my cardinal, so I’ll be praying for him throughout the conclave.

Yes, when John Paul II died, I think there were so many people for whom he was the only Pope of living memory that there was so much anxiety that I made the list then as my “Be not afraid” statement. And it just seemed like a good idea now, too. I’m happy that so many are joining in.
 
When Pope John Paul II died, I organized a prayer list to pair up one person who would pray for a specific Cardinal during the conclave. The prayers were NOT “I’m praying that Cardinal _____ becomes Pope” but for that particular Cardinal to be given wisdom from the Holy Spirit for the conclave and the decision to be made.

So, now it seems like it is time to organize this again. I’ll take one Cardinal, I need 118 prayer companions for the rest of the voting Cardinals. The commitment is to pray for the particular Cardinal individually until there is white smoke.

(…)
Do you suggest praying anything in particular?

I’ve just been praying that he is strong in spirit, mind, and body and that he welcomes the Holy Spirit working through him at the conclave. With variations and an occasional Rosary. 🙂

I’d be interested to hear what others pray, too.

I found this prayer online (I guess I only “found” the second prayer, since the first prayer is a famous prayer to the Holy Spirit, although they were together when I found them, lol). I have been saying them, followed by the Prayer to St. Michael, with the specific intention that my adopted cardinal be open to the movement of the Holy Spirit while he is in conclave.

Come, Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of your faithful,
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created.
And you will renew the face of the earth.

Lord, you are our eternal shepherd and guide.
In your mercy grant your Church
a shepherd who will walk in your ways
and whose watchful care will bring us your blessing.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Cardinal Collins I’ve been praying for strength, courage and especially for openness to God’s will. I’ve only said one Rosary for him though. Will do more of that.
 
quies (and everyone else who wishes to participate)–just look at the list below–these are the unadopted Cardinals, and repost the list with your name next to the Cardinal you’re adopting.

I’ve been praying for the safe travel of my cardinal (Burke) as well as that God will keep him healthy. I pray that when the time comes to vote, he will be guided by the Holy Spirit.

I’m in. Will pray for him before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament today and tomorrow, as well as daily.
 
Progress–here are the remaining Cardinals who have yet to be adopted. When we get all of them covered once, I’ll post the long list, but for now–I’m encouraged by how short this list is getting. I don’t even have to scroll to see the whole list in a post.

I have been reading CAF (and learning!) for over two years. I’ve never created an account, until today, specifically for this thread.

I have also adopted Cardinal Phillipe Barbarin through a different site, so now I have two 🙂

Thank you for sharing this! Our Parish had a three day Lenten Mission on Prayer and we were encouraged to develop a special focus on the Holy Spirit. Tomorrow is our monthly Holy Hour and Adoration so this will come into use!

I watched the coverage this morning and I believe I saw “my” Cardinal greeting the Holy Father.
