Prayer for Francis
O God, faithful rewarder of souls, grant that your departed servant Pope Francis, whom you made successor of Peter and shepherd of your Church, may happily enjoy for ever in your presence in heaven the mysteries of your grace and compassion, which he faithfully ministered on earth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
Amen.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen.
