Pope Francis, rest in the peace of the Lord

Brothers and sisters,

Yesterday, the Holy Father celebrated his final Mass and gave his Urbi et Orbi blessing, leaving behind a final testimony of peace and unity.

We give thanks to God for his life and pontificate, and we ask for prayers for the eternal rest of his soul. May the Risen Christ receive him in His glory.

“Love conquered hatred.”

Pope Francis, rest in the peace of the Lord.

“Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.”
