When I saw that I could sign up online to receive the name of one of the cardinals, to pray for the Holy Spirit to inspire him in his vote, I didn&rsquo;t hesitate. I received the name of a cardinal from Argentina, Jos\u00e9 Bergoglio. I found out some information about him and started to pray. On March 13, 2013, my daughter, who was working in her studio apartment on Rue du Montparnasse in Paris, called me: \u201cMom, we have a new Pope: all the church bells around me are ringing!\u201d I turned on the radio and shortly afterwards I learned that the cardinal I was praying to the Holy Spirit for had been chosen. It was a very emotional moment, and I gave thanks to God. During the twelve years that followed, I felt that the choice of this pope was an excellent thing for the Church and for the world, so I am ready to start praying for a cardinal again!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Anne-Claude<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe each received a cardinal in prayer. We went online to see their photos and find out where they were from. I was assigned Cardinal Bergoglio from Argentina. I prayed that he would be elected pope, even though my parents kept telling me, \u201cNo, you just have to pray to support him in his vote.\u201d On March 13, in the late afternoon while waiting for the smoke, I said, \u201cThe smoke will be white and it will be Cardinal Bergoglio!\u201d My dad replied, \u201cNo, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se, stop dreaming!\u201d At 7:06 p.m., white smoke appeared. They announced the name of the cardinal who had been elected pope, and I shouted, \u201cIt&rsquo;s him! It&rsquo;s my cardinal from Buenos Aires!\u201d My grandmother, who was there that evening, looked at my dad in amazement and said, \u201cHow does your daughter know the name of that cardinal? &#8230; Mission Conclave was great!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Th\u00e9r\u00e8se, 11 years old and severely disabled<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Testimonies from the previous\u00a0Mission conclave, in 2013 &#8211; the conclave that elected Pope Francis.
