Cardinals began arriving at the Vatican on Monday for a final day of talks before entering the conclave to elect a new pope.
The balloting process is due to start on Tuesday.
The cardinals are expected to discuss the state of their Church which was left reeling by the abdication last month of Pope Benedict and struggling to deal with a string of sexual abuse and corruption scandals.
“So today is really a day where the cardinals are coming together for a meeting, they’re having more prayer and reflection in their very great responsibility for the rest of the week,” Kim Daniels, the Director of Catholic Voices USA said.
