May is the month of Mary. Ave Maria! Beginning tomorrow, May 1, Bishop Earl Boyea of Lansing invites you to join him in praying the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary each day for nine days to ask that the Holy Spirit informs and inspires the elector cardinals of Church will gather in conclave within the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, beginning May 7, to choose a new successor of Saint Peter as Bishop of Rome. So, each day let us pray:
Thursday, May 1: Luminous Mysteries
Friday, May 2: Sorrowful Mysteries
Saturday, May 3: Joyful Mysteries
Sunday, May 4: Glorious Mysteries
Monday, May 5: Joyful Mysteries
Tuesday, May 6: Sorrowful Mysteries
Wednesday, May 7: Glorious Mysteries
Thursday, May 8: Luminous Mysteries
Friday, May 9: Sorrowful Mysteries
Concluding prayer each day:
O Lord, guide the Cardinals as they gather. Send Your Holy Spirit: Grant them wisdom and right judgment, so that they may elect a shepherd after your own Heart, who will please you by his holiness, confirm his brothers in the truth, and tend to your people in love. We ask these blessings in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.
