calling the saints

Apr 30, 2025

.

From Rome this week Cardinal John Dew has been inspired by someone who said they were praying the Litany of the Saints every day for the Cardinals as they prepare to enter Conclave .

He has invited us to also use this ancient prayer.

Let’s take up his invitation and join with him in prayer.

You might find this wonderful modern adaptation of the ancient Litany helpful. It’s the one I’ll use as I’m sitting, walking, driving… praying that the Cardinals will be open to the Holy Spirit…
