      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.

      Hear with favor our prayers,
      which we humbly offer, O Lord,
      for the salvation of the soul of Pope Francis,
      your servant and Priest,
      that he, who devoted a faithful ministry to your name,
      may rejoice in the perpetual company of your Saints.
      Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
