The 113 Cardinals in Rome held their third General Congregation on Thursday, confirming Fr. Donato Ogliari and Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa as pre-conclave meditation speakers. Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández will now celebrate the Novemdiales Mass on the sixth day, replacing Cardinal Kevin Farrell. The conclave date remains undecided.

Over 61,000 mourners have paid their respects to the late Pope Francis, whose funeral is set for Saturday, April 26. A Rosary will follow that evening at St. Mary Major, with a private burial to be held. Public visits to the Pope’s tomb begin Sunday, April 27.
