Join us in this heartfelt prayer as we honor Pope Francis, a beloved shepherd of the Catholic Church. The world mourns his passing, remembering his humility, compassion, and faith.

This short prayer, with a meaningful Bible verse, brings comfort, remembrance, and hope.

May Pope Francis rest in eternal peace. May his legacy inspire love, unity, and service to others.

Heavenly Father,
We gather with heavy hearts to honor Pope Francis. You called him to guide Your flock, speak for the poor, and shine light on mercy.

Thank You, Lord, for his dedication to peace, justice, and humility. He showed us Christ’s heart by loving the outcast, protecting the vulnerable, and urging us to love more deeply.

Now, O God of comfort, welcome him into Your loving arms. May he rest in the Good Shepherd’s embrace. Give him the reward of his work, the joy of Your presence, and peace beyond understanding.

Comfort Your Church in our sorrow. Strengthen the faithful. Inspire future leaders. Help us continue Pope Francis’s mission of love and reconciliation.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
— 2 Timothy 4:7 (NIV)
