Adopt a Cardinal

ICN has been assigned Cardinal Hon of Hong Kong

As Cardinals from all over the world, gather in Rome for the momentous task of electing a new Pope, a website has been set up so that Catholics can pray for each and every one of them. Names are selected randomly. More that 200,000 people have already signed up.

A statement on the site asks: 'Do you as an important part of the Body of Christ wish to contribute through the power of your prayers so that the Holy Spirit may guide, protect and enlighten our Cardinals when they determine the next successor of St Peter?

'You now have the opportunity to actively be part of this providential endeavour by having a Cardinal assigned to you, who you will support through your prayer and intercession during the coming weeks before and during the conclave and for three days following the election.'
