Prayer for Pope Francis

​Loving God, today, we grieve for our beloved
Pope Francis. We know you join us in our
grief, that you too weep at the death of your
dear friend and companion as Jesus did at the
tomb of Lazarus.
Welcome our beloved Pope Francis into your
waiting arms. Envelop him in your eternal
love. And comfort us in our mourning as we
strive to continue to follow his Gospel
example to encounter Christ in all people and
in all places.
We thank you for the gift of Pope Francis.
Through his life and teaching, you showed us
how to love and serve one another, how to
hear the cries of the poor and the cries of the
earth and respond in compassionate love.
Pope Francis, pray for us. Mary, Mother of
Sorrows, comfort us. Amen.
