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.

Diocesan Jubilee Prayer

God our Father in heaven,

may the faith you have given us

in your son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour,

and the flame of charity enkindled

in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,

awaken in us this Jubilee Year a missionary heart

for the coming of your Kingdom.

May the gift of your grace

transform us, Pilgrims of Hope,

into your missionary disciples,

blessed with the gifts and talents you give us.

Strengthen us to share our Saviour's  message

of love, joy, and peace

with all the people we meet this year,

so that we may help build up your Kingdom on earth.

To you our God,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

be glory and praise for ever and  ever.

Amen.
