They have sealed the Pope's Chambers in The Papal Apartments looking onto St. Peter's Square. This door will not be opened until there is a new pope elected.
From now on, until we have a Pope, the Eucharistic Prayer will omit a reference to the Holy Father. We only mention the local Bishop (our own Cardinal Thomas Collins).
From this point our prayers are focuused on the College of Cardinals who are gathering in Rome. This Sunday we have Prayer Cards as we pray for the election of a new Pope.
Peace
