"In all things, charity." (Pre-Conclave)

The first and most important job of the Pope is to help us walk together, as brothers and sisters of the Lord. St. Augustine is our guide here. He said, “In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. And in all things, charity.” So, pray for the cardinals this week. Pray for an open and gracious heart. And pray, too, for our new Pope, whoever that will be. Being Pope is a weighty burden. Let’s help our new Holy Father to carry it with our prayers and affection.   Readings at this Mass: Acts 5:12–16 | Rv 1:9–11a, 12–13, 17–19 | Jn 20:19–31
