On Sunday, May 4, just days before the start of the papal conclave, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York celebrated Mass at his titular church in Rome — Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Following the long-standing tradition for cardinals present in Rome ahead of a conclave, Dolan returned to pray with the faithful and reflect on the responsibility of choosing the next pope. In a brief homily and comments afterward, he expressed gratitude and asked for continued prayers as the Church prepares for this pivotal moment.
