VATICAN CITY (AP) — The conclave to elect a new pope begins Tuesday at the Vatican. The voting process follows a set ritual every day until the Catholic Church has a new leader. Here is an approximate schedule. Local time listed first.

TUESDAY

— 10 a.m.-11:45 a.m. (5 a.m.-6:45 a.m. EDT; 0900-1045 GMT): Cardinals attend Mass in St Peter’s Basilica, then return to their Vatican hotel.

— 4:45 p.m.-8 p.m. (11:45 a.m.-3 p.m. EDT; 1545-1900 GMT): Each cardinal takes an oath, most likely followed by the first vote. If the vote yields a new pope, white smoke will emerge from the chimney; if not the smoke will be black.

• First from the Americas

May God bless his pontificate!

Homily #130927bs ( 19min) Play – Fr. Louis Maximilian gives the first homily of the MIM 3rd Order retreat for 2013 in Bloomington, Indiana. He focuses on the first reading from the prophet Haggai where he encourages the Israelites to continue with the building the temple even though the new temple was  not as grand as the one destroyed by the Babylonians. He relates this to the modest means that we have and that St Francis had to build a great spiritual edifice. But God provides the means necessary as they are necessary and He will be the glory of all our spiritual efforts. We have to let God provide.
Ave Maria!
