Prayers for the Dead – For the Pope

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 forever 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,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

(+) Franciscus
