Countdown to Conclave

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, symphathetic with the striving,and tolerant of the weak -- because some day you will have been all of these. "

George W. Carver

The search for a new shepherd will begin soon....lets all pray that through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, a new supreme pontiff will be chosen to lead the children of God...the successor of Peter....on which was the rock which Jesus built his church....

On this day of Good Shepherd Sunday, it has especially a deeper meaning......however apart from the conclave...lets also pray for ourselves.....we are also shepherds to each other....we belong to a common priesthood by the virtue of our baptism.....let's pray for the grace to carry out this common priesthood...and also for others...who might be touched ...to lead and serve in the ministorial priesthood.....
