Denver, Colo., Mar 12, 2013 \/ 04:07 pm (CNA<\/a>).- The Catholic Business Journal is encouraging its readers, radio audience and online subscribers to join in a spiritual bouquet to pray for the cardinal electors as they gather to choose the next Pope.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe take action with our vibrant prayers, for the cardinals themselves, and for the Church,\u201d said Karen Walker, founder of Catholic Business Journal, an online business platform for networking, faith building and the exchange of ideas.<\/p>\n

\tThe spiritual bouquet, which will be presented to the next Pope after his election, is being organized by Catholic Action for Faith and Family, a group that works to defend Catholic teaching.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cNow is a time for great prayer,\u201d said Dick Lyles, host of a radio show produced by Catholic Business Journal and aired on the EWTN Global Catholic Network.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cAs Catholic business professionals, we are called to be faithful, right where we are\u2026prayer remains the most important way we can support our cardinals at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tSpiritual bouquets consist of prayers and penances, such as attendance at Mass, holy Communions, rosaries, litanies and fasting, which one offers for someone else.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe idea of a spiritual bouquet is that each prayer is like a flower,\u201d explained Thomas McKenna, founder of Catholic Action for Faith and Family.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe collection of prayers is like a bouquet mystically offered as a gift to God for a particular intention,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\tMcKenna said the idea of this spiritual bouquet came to him after a conversation with Cardinal Raymond Burke.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI asked Cardinal Burke if there was anything I could do and he responded that his only request was for prayers,\u201d McKenna said.<\/p>\n

\tWalker noted that while \u201cwe are not cardinals\u2026we can certainly take action in (the) historic choice of a new pope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe are encouraging our audience of Catholic business professionals to lead the way for prayer in their communities, by participating in the Spiritual Bouquet of prayers initiated by Catholic Action for Faith and Family,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\tAll those wishing to join in the bouquet can go to CatholicAction.org to register their prayer offerings.<\/p>\n
