Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys.  Today Father Koys acknowledges the first day of the conclave, a historic moment.  While he does not guess who will be the next Pope nor does he explain how the conclave works, he chooses to focus on talking about what is needed in the office of the Papacy.  He also encourages prayer for the Cardinals and that we seek the Holy Spirits guidance for them as they select the next Pope.

Father Anthony leads us in daily prayer as well as offering prayers for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis as well as for the College of Cardinals and the Conclave.  The Conclave to select the 267Th Successor to the Chair of Peter is set to begin tomorrow, May 7th.  Today, Father Anthony addresses a question posed to him “Why do we pray if God already selected the next Pope?” He begins by discussing the importance and the inner workings of prayer and the Holy Spirit. Father references the Sunday readings and unpacks just how applicable they are for the upcoming conclave. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish [https://ststanschurch.org/]

Lauretta wishes everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo sharing a bit about the history behind this day then turning her focus to Our Lady of Guadalupe.  She informs us regarding the apparition that lead to the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe and unpacks the story, its impact and the symbolism of the Tilma.  She also reminds us that we are still in the mourning period for the passing of Pope Francis and that we continue to pray for the repose of his soul. She briefly discusses the conclave and its details along with reminding everyone to pray for the Holy Spirit to be present with the Cardinals and guide their voting, until such times as we see the white smoke and hear the announcement “Habemus Papam”.   St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish [https://ststanschurch.org/]
