Cardinal Robert Sarah

     Deliberation on the appointing of our next Pope will begin today. I pray for this Cardinal Robert Sarah. I pray he will be elected as our new Shepherd. His humility yet firmness in the Mass, Liturgy and Truth is phenomenal. He has lived it. His first start to greatness started with Saint John Paul II. And that is a great start! 

 Born in 1945, he is a Guinean prelate of the Catholic Church. Ordained a priest in 1969, he earned degrees in Theology and Scripture. He served as Parish priest of a minor Seminary before being appointed Archbishop of Conakry. In 1979 at the age of 34 he was the youngest Bishop in the world at the time, earning him the name "baby Bishop" from Saint John Paul II. He later served as Secretary of the Congregation for Evangelical of peoples and President of the Pontifical Council.  He was created a Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.  He resigned from a position Pope Francis appointed him to which was "Prefect of the congregation for divine worship and the discipline of the Sacraments", citing many disagreements to the Church's stance of the role of women in the Church and the need for traditionalism and the steps taken to avoid this. In this negation for traditionalism, Cardinal Sarah stepped away from this appointment, making him, in non-traditionalists eyes, a bad person, when he is quite the opposite. He is a good and gentle Apostle, not willing to bow down to the ways of the wicked world, but willing to stand up and proclaim that all the glory is God's, and God's alone.

    Following in the footsteps of Saint Peter, the role model for all Popes, this man is surely proven his Discipleship and Apostolic faithfulness to the Church and her teachings. Pray for him and the guidance of the Council to see the worth of this great man. His age is but a number, but his worth is measured in gold. Consecrate him daily to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. There, he will find protection from the wolves that are trying to destroy our Church. 

   God bless you Cardinal Robert Sarah! God bless the deliberation!
