May 7, 2025, Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,Today, as the conclave has started in Rome, we pray for those gathered in Rome, especially the cardinal electors, who will soon elect St. Peter’s newest successor, the 267th Pope.They will elect the man who will become our next Pope, the successor of Pope Francis, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.As they enter the Sistine Chapel, they will sing the “Veni Creator Spiritus” (“Come Holy Spirit, Creator Blest”).The proceedings will take place in absolute secrecy, with the 133 cardinal electors sequestered mainly from the outside world until a new supreme pontiff is chosen.The Sistine Chapel [in the picture above], located in the heart of the Vatican, is surrounded by the beauty of frescoes by Michelangelo, Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, and Domenico Ghirlandaio. It has witnessed every papal election since 1492.Also, today in the Gospel (John 6:35-40), the Lord says, Everyone who believes in the Son will have eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the last day.“I am the bread of life;Whoever comes to me will never hunger,and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
