Dio Lake CharlesNovena In Memory of Pope Francis
FOURTH DAY
April 29, 2025
Authentic Teacher of the FaithIn the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
A reading from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are “authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice” (Lumen gentium, 25). The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to practice, the beatitude to hope for. (no. 2034)
Pause for silent prayer.
Pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
— And let perpetual light shine upon him.O God, who in your wondrous providence
chose your servant Pope Francis to preside over your Church,
grant, we pray,
that, having served as the Vicar of your Son on earth,
he may be welcomed by him into eternal glory.
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.Visit https://www.usccb.org/novena-memory-pope-francis to view the Novena in English and Spanish.
