Heavenly Father, we commend to you the Soul of Our Holy Father Francis, who has died.
May he be admitted into paradise and may his works of love and care for the poor accompany him on his journey into his heavenly reward.
May he, like St Joseph, be held in the arms of Jesus and Mary, and may our sorrow turn into Easter Joy, trusting in your gift of eternal life as we celebrate these Easter Days.
Amen.
(Prayer said by our Parish School on the morning of Tuesday 22 April 2025 at The Assembly of ‘The Word’)
