Noven for Pope Francis
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has prepared a Novena in Memory of Pope Francis to help pray for the Pope during the time of mourning. The daily novena – lasting for the novendiales period as directed by the College of Cardinals – consists of a short reading from Scripture or some other ecclesiastical text and some brief prayers, including orations drawn from the Roman Missal and the Order of Christian Funerals.
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.
