Cardinals Celebrate Mass Ahead of Papal Election

"Today’s world expects a great deal from the Church in safeguarding those fundamental human and spiritual values, without which human coexistence will not improve nor benefit future generations."

This was stated by Cardinal Dean Giovanni Battista Re at the conclusion of the homily of the Mass “Pro eligendo Romano Pontifice”, concelebrated in St. Peter’s Basilica with the cardinal electors participating in the Conclave, CE Report quotes ANSA.

"May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, intervene with her maternal intercession, so that the Holy Spirit may enlighten the minds of the cardinal electors and bring them to unity in electing the Pope our time needs," he added.
