And so, I encourage my readers... all dozen or so of you... to go out and do this. Adopt a cardinal for some serious fasting and prayer support in the coming weeks, not only as they elect a pope, but because cardinals probably need all the spiritual support they can get anyway.
Here's my cardinal:
 | |
| Name: | José da Cruz Policarpo |
| Country: | Portugal |
| Day of birth: | 1936-2-26 |
| Cardinal since: | 2001-2-21 |
| Function: | Patriarch of Lisbon, Portugal |
It turns out, I was in Rome with a bunch of seminarian buddies when he was elevated to the Sacred College back in 2001. And get this... today's his birthday... what do you know?!
Your eminence, prayers are on their way. May the Spirit reveal to you and your brothers our next Holy Father.
-- Fr. Tom Donovan
