On May 7th, the Cardinals around the world will gather in Rome to pray to the Holy Spirit and elect the next Pope. While only Cardinals enter conclave, the laity has a profound responsibility during this time in the Church. In his prescient new book, Bishop Athanasius Schneider (author of the bestselling Catechism, Credo) sounds a rallying cry to all Catholics to take up the mightiest spiritual weapon in our arsenal to repel the forces of evil, disentangle the vexing problems we face in these troubled times and help the Cardinals be receptive to the Holy Spirit in electing our next Holy Father. Unite your prayers with those of the universal Church with this profound guide into the spiritual depths of the Holy Rosary. Inspired by the victories wrought through fervent faith and the recitation of the Rosary, such as during the legendary Battle of Lepanto, these reflections illustrate how Marian devotion has the power to restore the Body of Christ — the Holy Catholic Church — and foster holiness in her members. Bishop Schneider relates that faith, moral life, pastoral and clerical life, and the sacred liturgy are all under attack - particularly now. And this is particularly true for our Cardinals - especially as they prepare for the task of electing a new Pope. But don't lose heart! In these stirring and thought-provoking pages, rooted in our rich traditions, His Excellency urges believers to unite in trusting Our Lady to help our Cardinals and to intercede for a new era of saintly popes and holy leadership to safeguard, renew, and uplift the Faith. Don't delay in ordering this book so you can join the Universal Church right now in praying for a Holy Pope! May God bless you, The Catholic.Store team |
