With the passing of Pope Francis, the Church enters a sacred time of mourning, reflection, and transition.
As the College of Cardinals prepares to gather and elect the next pope, we’re invited to pray deeply for the Church and her future.
Here’s how you can join us:
Pray for the repose of Pope Francis’ soul.
Pray for the cardinals as they discern in unity.
Pray for the man who will be called to serve as our next Holy Father.
This is a time to trust the Holy Spirit and to remain united in faith and hope. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Remembering Pope Francis:
Cardinal Kevin Farrell from the Holy Father’s residence in the Casa Santa Marta shares“
He was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the eldest child of an Italian immigrant who fled the fascist government of Benito Mussolini. As a young man, Bergoglio worked humble jobs, including a stint as a janitor. At the age of 21, he had part of one lung removed after a life-threatening bout of pneumonia.
He joined the Society of Jesus (the Jesuit Order) in 1960 after several years of seminary studies. He was ordained a priest in 1969.
He served terms as the provincial superior of the Jesuits in Argentina and as Archbishop of Buenos Aires before Pope St. John Paul II appointed him a cardinal in 2001 – making him eligible for his eventual election as pontiff.
Pope Francis was elected pope in 2013, and March 13 would have marked the completion of the 12th year of his papacy.
Pope Francis was the first Jesuit pope, the first from Latin America, and the first to take the name of St. Francis of Assisi.”
His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.”
“Throughout his pontificate, Pope Francis asked Catholics to reflect on the mercy of Christ, called all people to encounter the love of God, especially the poor and marginalized, and urged the Church to embrace its missionary identity,” Mercer continued. “We give thanks to God for the gift of the pope, his brother bishops, and our Holy Mother Church. The days following a pope’s death also call for intense prayer and fasting for the future of the Church as the cardinals gather to elect his successor.”

Good Friday, service at 1pm today.
“It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice,
‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ When he had said this, he breathed his last.”
LUKE 23:44-46

“Do this in remembrance of me.”
Today on Holy Thursday, we remember Christ’s great gift in the Eucharist and His example of humble service.

Perhaps I’m remembering times in my own life when I’ve betrayed Jesus, making choices that took me away from his presence? Or maybe I’ve felt betrayed by someone else, and still struggle to find it in my heart to forgive them. Perhaps I’m struggling to forgive myself? Without judgement, I acknowledge these times, and ponder how wonderful it is that the Lord loves and accepts me exactly as I am.

We are so used to thinking about Jesus dying on a cross that we often miss the shock of it. Jesus’ Kingdom project failed abjectly. It could not have gone worse. The disciples were not pretending to be sad, they were devastated. Can I get near to them and their experience during Holy Week?

Palm Sunday.
Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
"The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting "Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel."
John 12:12-13
