The Catholic faithful are also encouraged to light a candle for Pope Francis and say the following prayer for his eternal repose:
O God of mercy and compassion, we entrust to You our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis, whom You have called from this life to Yourself. Grateful for his tireless witness to the Gospel, his courage in proclaiming mercy, and his love for the poor and the earth, we now commend his soul to Your eternal embrace. Grant him the reward of faithful service: the joy of seeing You face to face.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
(For safety, please do not forget to blow off the candle afterwards.)
From Pablo Virgilio Cardinal David, President of the CBCP
