Dear Friend,

If you haven't had a chance to register for the Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Good Counsel and submit your intentions for Cardinal Burke to pray for, please take a few minutes to do so now, CLICK HERE.

Already registered and have new intentions that Cardinal Burke will pray for? CLICK HERE.

Today, May 2, is the feast of St. Athanasius, a Doctor of the Church, who was known for his staunch defense of the Nicene Creed and the Father of Orthodoxy. May the next Successor of Peter follow in his footsteps. 

Now let us go forth, invoking our most compassionate mother of all and seek her “good counsel”. 

Day 2—New Pope “after God’s heart” Like King David

We all know how important good pastoral leadership is for our Church at every level, but especially at the highest level of the Papacy. Although the faithful have no direct involvement in the electoral process for a new pope, we all have an obligation to pray for a Supreme Pontiff who, like King David of old, will need to be “a man after God’s heart” (1 Sam 13:14) and fully conformed to Christ’s Will in all things. 

Of all the Cardinals going into the conclave, one will emerge from that locked room bearing the “keys of the Kingdom” (Mt 16:18-19) as promised to Peter by Our Lord Jesus Christ on that very first Papal Election. It is upon that Rock that Christ founded His Church, and we know for certain that the “gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” 

Yet, our prayers for the next successor of Peter count for much in the hands of Our Lady of Good Counsel during this Solemn Novena of Hope.

Share this link with your family, friends and Catholic groups so that Our Lady, who is the living temple of the Holy Trinity, may guide them in their most pressing needs.

May Our Lady of Good Counsel, who is the Depositary of the secrets of the Most High, come to the aid of the Cardinals gathered in Rome to elect the Vicar of Christ.

Embracing the love of the Risen Jesus and His mother Mary,
