The Sistine Awaits

(ROME) Like the song says—no, there’s really not much news to tell you. The conclave is all set. Tomorrow is the big day. Solemn Mass will be offered at 10 am in St Peter’s by the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Angelo Cardinal Sodano.


In the press briefing today, Father Lombardi said it would be a “Latin Mass” accompanied by the music of Palestrina. He indicated also that it would be no longer than 2 hours in duration.

The cardinals will enter the Sistine Chapel at 4:30, and there will be a vote. However, Father Lombardi suggested that we should expect black smoke tomorrow.

So, here in Rome it is time to wait and pray that Christ our King will lead the princes of the Church and that Mary Our Queen will intervene on behalf of the most faithful prince of the Church, a man who will have the grace and the courage to do what must be done: clean out the stables, exorcise the devils, banish the wolves, and restore holiness to the See of Peter.

Veni Creator Spiritus!
