Servant of the Servants of God
A Prayer of Thanksgiving and Hope
Heavenly Father,
With hearts filled with sorrow and gratitude,
we thank You for the life and service of Your humble servant, Pope Francis.
You called him to be a shepherd of Your Church,
a voice of mercy in a wounded world,
and a light of compassion in dark times.
Through his example of humility,
his love for the poor, and his deep joy in the Gospel,
he led us ever closer to You.
Now that his earthly journey is complete,
welcome him into the glory of Your presence.
Grant him rest in Your eternal peace,
and may his soul rejoice with all the saints.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
Holy Mary, Mother of the Church – pray for him.
Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles – pray for him.
All holy men and women – pray for us.
