Prayer for Pope Francis
Heavenly Father,
In your providential care,
you have blessed your Church with wise shepherds.
Look with favor upon your servant, Francis.
He has been a steadfast herald of your truth
and a compassionate shepherd of your flock.
Grant him rest from his labors,
We ask this through the Shepherd of Souls,
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.
RIP Pope Francis
Statement from Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R. on the Death of Pope Francis
With profound sorrow and heartfelt gratitude, I join the Church in mourning the death of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis, a shepherd who walked closely with God’s people and never tired of reminding us of God’s mercy. He was a man of deep faith, profound humility, and unshakable hope — a servant whose tireless call to care for the poor and the marginalized will continue to inspire the Church for generations to come.
In this Easter season, as we proclaim that Christ is risen and death is not the end, we entrust Pope Francis to the risen Lord whom he followed so faithfully. May Christ, our hope and resurrection, welcome him into the fullness of joy and peace.
Let us give thanks for his life, his witness, and his love for the People of God. And may we honor his memory by building a Church that reflects the face of Jesus — merciful, welcoming, and always near to those on the margins.
Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R.
Archbishop of Newark
