NINE-DAY NOVENA PRAYER IN MEMORY OF POPE FRANCIS

(from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops)

You can join us as one universal Church in the Nine-Day Novena in Memory of Pope Francis beginning Wednesday, April 23 through Thursday, May 1. We will begin the day's Novena Prayer at the start of each Mass: Weekdays (9:00 am), Saturday (5:00 pm) and Sunday, (7:30 am, 9:30 am and 11:30 am).

The entire Church mourns the death of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. In cathedrals, basilicas, parish churches, shrines, and chapels, the Holy Eucharist will be offered for the repose of his soul. Communities and individuals will ask God to bestow his infinite mercy on the man who served the Church as Bishop of Rome.

This novena has been prepared to help pray for the Pope during this time. 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.
