Transfer of the Coffin for Pope Francis

Today (April 22), the Service Booklet for the Transfer of the Coffin of Pope Francis was put onto the Vatican Website. The service is (was) held today. The Vatican announced that the servicce will take place tommorow, at 9 AM Rome time.

A similiar service happened following the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, which took place over three years ago.

Also, over twenty years ago (and about fifteen days), Pope John Paul II passed away, on (or on the Vigil of) Divine Mercy Sunday (a day which he established within his pontificate). There is a possibility that I will look back at funeral coverage of these two pontiffs in the coming days. I will also look at the Service of the Transfer of Pope Francis's Coffin on Thursday (since I don't know when it will be up Standard Time). But I was able to look at the service booklet. It's a very simple service, and most of the booklet is only Psalms and the Litany of the Saints, which was similiar to what happened for Pope Benedict.

We'll see tommorow, keep Pope Francis in your Prayers
