The Litany of the Saints will be sung as the cardinals commence the Conclave, calling upon the saints for their help and intercession.
This Litany of the Saints has been prepared specifically for the intention of the Conclave and especially for Aotearoa New Zealand.
Let us unite our prayers with those of Cardinal John Dew, his fellow Cardinals and the universal Church, that the Holy Spirit will give wisdom and insight to all those who enter the Conclave on Wednesday, 7 May.
