Pope Francis held Holy Mass and prayed in St. Peter's Square.
He asked the people to pray for him.
And who would you suggest elect the Pope? God has shown no inclination to interfere with the election. However, all the cardinals pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance before they vote that God's choice for pope will be elected.
He actually did not want to be pope. He was planning to retire at the time to read, write, study and pray. However, once elected he could not refuse the wishes of the Holy Spirit and accepted the position.
Sure we pray for the Pope. He is the Head of God's Church and the Holy Father of the catholic people.
We all pray he is. However, he has only been pope for a short time and it will take time for us to know what sort of pope we now have. Right now (early 2015) he has many Catholic baffled. Some days he seems very conservative and other times he seems ultra liberal.
Why not pray to both? Anthony is the patron saint for lost items and Francis is the patron of animals.
Catholics have never had to seek the permission of the pope to pray to God the Father, Son or Holy Spirit. Nor do they need permission from the pope to pray to the saints for intercession.
There are a number of saints named Francis so you need to be more specific.
A pope's role in a Christians church is to pray and bless other people and talk about god.
Pray! PRAY PRAY PRAY! It really does help!
yes it is proven that behind closed doors that whomever the pope may be at the time that they will pray to the Black Mary and baby Jesus potrait but never in public will they announce this accusation
