Twists and Turns

Jesus

No one sees the many twists and turns which this conclave will take. All the cardinals see the overwhelming importance of their choice. They take their responsibility seriously and will do all in their power to select the right person. However, they do not as yet see how unexpectedly I will guide their decisions. They have no idea of how I will actually take over the proceedings, not in an outward fashion but by the inner turning of their own hearts.

They will see a change, a turning away from some candidates and a favoring of others. They will see this clearly as the votes are cast and then counted. They will begin to chart the flow, the back and forth. Why is this happening? Why does one candidate surface and then another, yet no one gains the decided advantage that would cause the cardinals to come to the needed oneness to elect? All they can do is to stay with the process which they must follow.

Mary

I do not allow the choice to slip from my hands. Just as I have held this priest son close to my heart, so I now hold tightly in my hand the only process that can raise him to the papacy.

Within the limits of my will, the cardinals will act and even vote. I will not interfere with their free will nor their free decisions or free discussions. However, I will not allow any candidate whom I have not chosen to gain the needed number of votes. Everything else will flow as usual. There will seem to be no direct intervention. Yet, when it comes to gaining the nod, no one will gain it. As the time goes by, the cardinals will wonder why all of their efforts are in vain. It is because my choice has not yet come forth.
