As with all Catholics around the world, the National Catholic Office for the Deaf mourns the death of Pope Francis. He had a great love for those "on the margins", and the Deaf community. We commend his soul to the God whom he loved and served. The Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC) has developed a 51-page booklet that provides information on the death of a pope, the funeral, the period of mourning, and the election of his successor. They are also updating their website with other resources regularly. Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions - Resources on Death of Pope Francis | The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has published a Novena (9 days of prayer) for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis and the needs of the Universal Church. That document can be downloaded below - it is also one of the resources on the FDLC website. The text for each day has been added to the NCOD calendar at the bottom of this home page. |
