In this time of reverence and prayer, we want to offer you Mourning Pope Francis and Understanding the Interregnum. This eBook provides the answers to many of your questions—including what happens when a Pope dies, the mourning period, and the funeral and burial. You will also find two prayers that you can offer for the repose of Pope Francis’s soul.
Please request your eBook to assist you in this difficult time. We pray this resource will help Catholics and non-Catholics who want to know what we should do—and what happens next.
“All those who put their hope in God place their feeble hands in His strong and mighty hand; they let themselves be raised up and set out on a journey. Together with the risen Jesus, they become pilgrims of hope, witnesses of the victory of love and of the disarmed power of Life.”
– Pope Francis
