To all Catholics around the world, my brothers and sisters in Christ, the See of Rome will be vacant as of Rome time (CET/UTC+1), 8.00 pm on 28 February 2013, which corresponds to these times :
Los Angeles / PST / UTC-8 : Thursday, 28 February 2013 at 11.00 am
New York / EST / UTC-5 : Thursday, 28 February 2013 at 2.00 pm
London / GMT / UTC : Thursday, 28 February 2013 at 7.00 pm
Jakarta, Bangkok / UTC+7 : Friday, 1 March 2013 at 2.00 am
Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing / UTC+8 : Friday, 1 March 2013 at 3.00 am
I do not think many will be awake or stay awake, or at work, and busy at this time, but if you are awake or available, let us make this hour an hour of prayer, for our current Pope Benedict XVI, his to-be-elected successor, and for the whole Church.
