When does the conclave begin and what should we do before it?
Received

This week is very important, or perhaps the most important, because the cardinals are in conferences, meeting, praying, listening, and discussing various current issues, the world, and the Church. Today the 5th general conference of cardinals began.This week, in addition to preparing for the conclave, the cardinals visualize where the Church should go, how the Church should respond to the reality of today's world, what they most need to do, where they should focus their efforts, and of course: Who would be the right one to lead it? Who is the Pope we need?That's right! This week is when they, the cardinals, begin to think about which of their colleagues is the most suitable, who would do it best, who could lead the Church.Don't think that the cardinals vote for their friends or whoever they like the most. Don't think they arrive at the conclave without knowing who they are going to vote for. At least the first votes are clear. This week they decide who they will vote for.Pope Francis chose 80 of the 133 who will vote in the conclave, but that doesn't mean all of them want "continuity" or that everyone thinks it's the only and best way. Honestly, we don't believe it's a dispute between right and left, between conservatives and liberals, or whatever title you want to give them. We are convinced that the Pope belongs to Christ, and so are the cardinals. Therefore, they don't think about following one ideology or another, party, etc. They think about touching hearts and winning souls for heaven.We also don't think there is division within the Vatican. That happens in political parties; that's putting them to fight. We don't believe it! There may be differences between the cardinals; of course, that's normal, we are all different, just as previous Popes were different (and all their pontificates were brilliant). We, on our own, pray the three nuances of the rosary for unity, the new Pope, his intentions, and the holiness of the Church.Let us put our trust in the Lord!It's no secret that the world is going through various crises, wars, secularism, debauchery, less family, etc. And what we are already sure of is that the new Pope will do his best to shepherd the current context.Now, be careful! The new Pope may make mistakes, yes, because he is human, but the Church never will, because the truth is Christ. Neither the commandments, nor Sacred Scripture, nor dogmas will change. Without alarmism, let us trust in the new Pope because, like it or not, he is the Vicar of Christ, Peter himself, and: everything with him, nothing without him.The conclave will begin on May 7th, but we repeat, perhaps more important than the conclave itself is this week, it's before, because the cardinals must understand what God wants us to do, where we should row, who can be a good brother, priest, father, and captain of the ship. The shortest conclave has lasted 10 hours, and the longest 2 years and 9 months. Let's hope this one doesn't last more than a few days.The Holy Spirit will undoubtedly blow before and during the conclave. Of course, the Holy Spirit doesn't choose; men choose, but let's trust in Divine Providence and make a holy conclave possible so that they may give us a holy Pope, whoever he may be.Let's pray intensely as if everything depended on us, and the Holy Spirit will do the rest.Fundación AMEN Digital
