      In 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.
