Heavenly Father,
We remember with grateful hearts the life and service of Pope Francis.
Thank You for the gift he was to the Church and to the world -
A humble leader, a voice for the poor who served with wisdom and compassion.
We pray that his legacy of mercy, unity and care for creation continues to inspire our hearts and actions.
Help us, Lord to follow his example, to walk with kindness, to live simply and to be true followers of Christ.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Amen.
