Prayer for a Deceased Pope
 
O God, Who, in Thine ineffable providence, did will that Thy servant, Pope Francis, should be numbered among the high priests, grant, we beseech Thee, that he, who on earth held the place of Thine only-begotten Son, may be joined forevermore to the fellowship of Thy holy pontiffs.
 
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

​

Pray for the repose of Pope Francis’s soul while giving thanks for the legacy he leaves behind him as the first pope from the Americas.
 
He strove to be a humble shepherd who led with compassion and unwavering faith. His dedication to the Gospel by always seeking to serve the poorest of the poor inspired millions, calling us to mercy, service, and deeper trust in Jesus Christ.
 
As we pray for his soul, let us also reflect on his legacy of hope and unity.
 
May the soul of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.
 
St. Francis, pray for us
