This homily was recorded as the conclave was set to begin on Wednesday, May 7. We reflected on Christ’s words: “I came down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.” At that moment, we prayed not for power or politics, but for the Holy Spirit to guide the Cardinals and the future Pope, according to the Father’s will.
