      In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
      and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

      A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

      Pause for silent prayer.

      Pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.

      Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
      — And let perpetual light shine upon him.

      Grant, we pray, O Lord,
      that the soul of Pope Francis, your servant and Priest,
      whom you honored with sacred office
      while he lived in this world,
      may exult for ever in the glorious home of heaven.
      Through Christ our Lord. Amen
