Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.
Whoever has seen me, Philip, has seen the Father also, Alleluia.
(Today's Communion Antiphon)
Prayer After Communion
Purify our minds, we pray, O Lord,
by these holy gifts we have received,
so that, contemplating you in your Son
together with the Apostles Philip and James,
we may be worthy to possess eternal life.
Through Christ our Lord.

Sts Philip and James, pray for us!
You are strangers and aliens no longer.
No, you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God.
You form a building which rises on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus Himself as the capstone. Through Him the whole structure
is fitted together and takes shape as a holy temple in the Lord; in Him you are being built
is fitted together and takes shape as a holy temple in the Lord; in Him you are being built
into this temple, to become a dwelling place for God in the Spirit. - Ephesians 2:19-22

NOVENA for the CONCLAVE (Day 5)
Heavenly Father, we pray in union with the whole Church
for the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Cardinals.
May the Princes of the Church listen attentively to Your Spirit
during the conclave. Almighty God, we pray the conclave
brings us a Pope who pleases You by guiding Your Church to
grow in faithfulness to You. We pray together with the intercession
of our Mother Mary and all the Saints. Please Lord, protect
and guide Your Church during this time of transition. Amen.
