The Church
TODAY (3:38) — Once the period of mourning for Pope Francis is done, the centuries-old tradition of selecting a new pope, known as the conclave, gets underway. NBC’s Keir Simmons reports for TODAY about the process that’s shrouded in secrecy.
We pray for the voting members of the college of cardinals, that the conclave which will start on Wednesday, MAY 7, 2025 will be guided by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to bring forth a pope filled with wisdom, love, and deep spirituality. We pray to the Lord...
Jesus said to [Peter], "Feed my sheep.
Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger,
you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;
but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
and someone else will dress you
and lead you where you do not want to go."
