There were rumors on Gloria.tv that Parolin was offering conservatives the repeal of the documents Fiducia Supplicans and Traditionis Custodes in exchange for support for his candidacy. I hope that isn’t exactly the reason behind Maradiaga’s fury, because I don’t trust Parolin due to that murky agreement between the Church and the Chinese Communist Party. Besides, once he became pope, he would no longer be accountable to anyone.
Tomorrow's the big day! I must get my prayer hat on. But I am very hopeful. I know that there are bad people planning some very bad things. But I would say most of them are good folks. One sad thing I notice as I get older though is that good people are often far, far too innocent. They are inclined to get the wool pulled over their eyes far,far too easily. As Jesus said: Sadly lots of people forget the shrewd as snakes part.
Yes I agree, older good people can be very gullible. I think though it may be that they try to see the good in others and presume it's there even if they can't see it.
Alvaro on YouTube has got more than 5000 Masses pledged for the Holy Souls to pray for the Conclave. I really like this man. Found him only recently and really enjoy his videos. He has a devotion to the Holy Souls and to Our Lady. I’m praying so hard now to the Souls in Purgatory and also for my adopted cardinal to be open to the Spirit. Alvaro has suggested that we fast on bread and water during the Conclave. So much is at stake, only a miracle can save the Church from another destroyer. Rosaries at the ready!
I am concerned if we get a good Pope who is bent on cleaning up the Vatican, we might find out some horrible truths. Like with everything else we are seeing these days.
My brother and I are all set to begin fasting on bread and water and praying multiple rosaries tomorrow. I'm so excited! I feel the Holy Spirit is moving many people to pray and fast for this pope. No matter who is chosen, this is such an important time and God is going to work in a big way. I can feel it!
It will seem so strange to have a really good Pope once again. Someone we do not need to be the least but concerned about. Please God if we do get a good , holy, Catholic Pope again Catholic commentators on the internet and elsewhere will show the poor guy the respect and love he deserves and leave him in peace to get on with it. I fear people have got into the habit of constant critique and may not give him the peace and respect and space he deserves. I am afraid many may have gotten into the bad habit of constant attacks. But please God not. What happens if we get a real bad, bad dude? Sigh. Who knows? Well as Jesus said sufficient unto the day are the worries thereof. We will just have to leave tomorrows cares until tomorrow. But with the internet and all the information available online we will know all about the new guy pretty well at once. All it will take to understand is a little research online. Many prayers this next while! Come Holy Spirit!
By the way, Manuela Strack, the German visionary was told by heaven that it will be an Italian who will be chosen.
If I understand correctly, the video refers to older messages. I am not very familiar with Manuela's website. I recently saw a video talking about an apparition on 25 April, but I can't find it on their website. However, I did see that there are two recent messages that may not have been posted here yet. Both with a focus on spiritual. I will post them in her thread.
Psalm from todays Universal Prayer of the Church: In a vision you spoke to your holy ones. You said, “I have given strength to a warrior, I have raised a chosen one from the people. I have found David my servant, I have anointed him with my holy oil. For my hand will always give him support, my right arm will give him strength. The enemy shall make no headway against him, the son of iniquity shall have no power over him. I will crush his foes in his sight and strike down those who hate him. My faithfulness and kindness shall be with him and his strength will be triumphant through my name. I shall extend his power over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers. He will call upon me: ‘you are my father, my God and my safe refuge.’ And I shall make him my first-born, supreme over all the kings of the earth. My kindness to him will continue for ever, my covenant with him will remain firm. For all ages I shall establish his descendants, and for all the days of heaven his throne will stand.” Off to Mass soon to pray cardinals discern well. All will be well. We know how it all turns out no matter who is chosen as new pope. Peace
What a wonderful sign! Wonderful. I am very, very hopeful really. They usually elect someone wonderful. Many of them saints. Please God.
Not sure if she actually said that or if it’s just an interpretation of a vision she had. Anyway for what it’s worth I think Manuela is legit.
I have found it hard to find a site that gives all her messages in English. Such a shame; I do believe she is authentic.

Fr. Murr chimes in on Conclave. He mentioned something very interesting, he said that there has been no modernization of oversight. Which explains what happened to Pell.
Taking them a while for the first ballot, maybe they already picked someone? Edit - for the first smoke, I mean.
