The Past, The Present, and The Future
When a Pope dies there is a well defined process within the Church for preparing his funeral and electing a successor. It is important that our first response as believers is to pray for the one who has died. Once the Pope's funeral has been celebrated, the Church will wait and pray as the College of Cardinals gathers to elect a new Pope.
Lord God, You are our eternal shepherd and guide. In your mercy grant your Church a shepherd who will walk in your ways and whose watchful care will bring us your blessing.
Please use this prayer in the days ahead.
