Fifth Day

X In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

Jesus said, “Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.” Peter said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go to prison and to die with you.” But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.”                                            (22:31-34)

Pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

— And let perpetual light shine upon him.

Grant, we pray, O Lord,

that the soul of Pope Francis, your servant and Priest, whom you honored with sacred office

while he lived in this world,

may exult for ever in the glorious home of heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
