It’s 11pm in Rome, and the first ballot shows black smoke.<\/p>\n

Do you really believe that humble prayers of the faithful can make a difference? Really?<\/p>\n

What about the difference between a blessing and a punishment?<\/p>\n

After all, it is St. Thomas, The Angelic Doctor himself, who says that societies get the leaders they deserve.<\/p>\n

Do the ‘humble of prayer’ deserve more punishment in prolonged crisis of faith? Or a restoration of the Church as hospital: the healing action of His curates applied to our mortally wounded, sickened souls?<\/p>\n

The same God who alone will surely will decide what we deserve is the same God who admonishes us: “Ask, and you shall receive.”<\/p>\n

He also says: “Make promises, and keep them.”<\/p>\n

Why not make a promise now to Christ-God, while there is still time, before the conclave concludes.<\/p>\n

Making a pilgrimage is not nearly as hard as you might think. And nobody makes pilgrimage alone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To start, pre-register for the 18th annual Pilgrimage for Restoration<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even if you cannot make it<\/a> in September, promise to make a pilgrimage in His honor (for example, by praying with or for pilgrims<\/a>), in thanksgiving to Him for blessing the Church with a Supreme Pastor who will guide the flock to greener pastures, laying down his life for Christ and His sheep.<\/p>\n

P.S. And while you’re at it, why not put in a good word for the one member of the conclave who is more than capable to do what it takes to reconcile to the Holy Roman See the Church’s tradition-minded faithful, East & West: His Eminence, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith.<\/p>\n

Pilgrimage for Restoration<\/strong>
