As the world receives the news that the Pope has passed on to his eternal reward, we pray for the repose of his soul. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace.
Now is not the time to look back at the past. We also pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the Conclave to present us with a true Vicar of Christ at this time of great turmoil in the Church and in the world. Prayer and fasting for this intention is needed.
Laudetur Jesus Christus.
