00:00Pope Francis has been raised upon the shoulders of the pallbearers to bring the late Pope
00:09Francis, his mortal remains, to the steps of St. Peter's Basilica.
00:19And we then want to prepare ourselves and solemnly participate in this very moving celebration.
00:30Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re will be the celebrant, the main celebrant leading us during this celebration.
00:58He is the Dean of the Cardinals and he is currently incensing the altar.
01:05O God, immortal shepherd of souls, look on your people's prayers and grant that your servant, Pope Francis, who presided over your church in charity, may, with the flock entrusted to his care, receive from your mercy the reward of a faithful steward.
01:27Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
01:34Leading us with song, chanting the words of Psalm 12.
01:41Give light to my eyes lest I fall asleep in death, lest my enemy say I have prevailed over him.
01:47As priests distribute throughout St. Peter's Square to distribute communion.
01:56Forgive every sin he committed in thought, word or deed, for you are a gracious God and a friend to mankind.
02:05No one who lives is without sin.
02:09You alone are sinless.
02:11Your righteousness is eternal and your word is truth.
02:14Your word is truth.
02:41Gracious Father, we commend to your mercy our Pope Francis, whom you made successor of Peter and shepherd of your church, a fearless preacher of your word and a faithful minister of the divine mysteries.
02:56Welcome him, we pray, into your heavenly dwelling place to enjoy eternal glory with all your chosen ones.
03:04We give you thanks, Lord, for all the blessings that in your goodness you bestowed upon him for the good of your people.
03:20Grant us the comfort of faith and the strength of hope.
03:25To you, Father, source of life, through Christ, the conqueror of death, in the life-giving spirit, be all honor and glory forever and ever.
03:39We pray, in the life-giving spirit, be all honor and glory forever and ever.
03:46We pray.
