Noven for Pope Francis
Third Day
Peter, the Unity of All the Church
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
A reading from a sermon by Saint Augustine
As you are aware, Jesus chose his disciples before his Passion and called them Apostles; and among these almost everywhere Peter alone deserved to represent the entire Church. And because of that role which he alone had, he merited to hear the words: To you I shall give the keys of the Kingdom of heaven. For it was not one man who received the keys, but the entire Church considered as one… Rightly then did the Lord after his Resurrection entrust Peter with the feeding of his sheep. Yet he was not the only disciple to merit the feeding of the Lord’s sheep; but Christ in speaking only to one suggests the unity of all; and so he speaks to Peter, because Peter is first among the Apostles. (Sermo 295, nos. 2, 4)
Pause for silent prayer. Pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
-- And let perpetual light shine upon him.
O God,
who chose your servant Pope Francis
from among your Priests
and endowed him with pontifical dignity
in the apostolic priesthood,
grant, we pray,
that he may also be admitted to their company for ever.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Novena in Memory of Pope Francis on USCCB website
Death is one more step in life. If you are sure that the Lord will not betray you, then you can go forward with courage. The Lord himself will give you the grace to see life in death. There is an expression that I do not like: “the House of the Father” or “going back to the Father’s House,” as if our life was a round trip. It would be better to say: “Go to meet the Lord” or “I’m going toward that meeting.” There will be a meeting or encounter at the end of life. It’s a meeting I may or may not have had in life and it’s a meeting that I’ve been looking forward to or not looking forward to in my life. But in the end, we will meet God face to face. Pope Francis in Sharing the Wisdom of Time
Death of Pope Francis
Dear community, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words: “Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.” Let us unite our minds and hearts and pray for him to our Lord Jesus Christ! |
