Francis, Pope of the People
Go and do the same in Jesus’ name
At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:
"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."
Eternal Rest Grant Unto
Francis, O Lord
Lord Jesus, you have called Pope Francis to yourself.
Thank you for the gift of his papacy.
When he was with us, he tirelessly showed the Church
your constant mercy toward sinners. Grant him now your mercy
and let him rest eternally with you in your Kingdom.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
V. Eternal rest grant unto Francis, O Lord.
R. And let the perpetual light shine upon him.
And may his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Throughout this Jubilee Year
Let each of us be for one another
Pilgrims of Hope
