Dear Holy Father, may our Blessed Mother, grant you a peaceful repose and lead you to your rightful place in heaven. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Go safely
Thank you Pope Francis, for refusing to condemn and instead work with those who are of different faiths. Thank you for caring for the poor, prisoners, refugees, all neglected people. Pray for us now who try to do God’s will, as we take each little step forward. Ian
Pope Francis was a shepherd who lived a 'simple life' and led the church to emphasise the mercy of God more and care for the poor and marginalised. He will be remembered for his interfaith dialogue, ecological responsibility, and the dignity of every human being.
As a holder of faith I would like to send my sincerest condolences and sense of profound sadness at the passing of a Pope who cared for everyone and truly embodied Christs mission to love everyone and to treat those as they wish to be treated.
Riposa in pace Papa Francesco
Thank you for all you did to lead our church and our people to a better place. Your care for the needy has helped me to understand my faith better. May you rest in peace
Francis, you are an example to everyone.
Those of us with a connection to Jesuit education at Milltown in Ireland are proud of the opportunity you seized and the example you set as Pope (we have always felt very connected to you because of the time you spent at Milltown in Dublin during your early years of service and of course your beautiful visit to Ireland later as Pope).
While your personal work is done, the work you started will echo for many years to come in many different ways.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for your gift of Pope Francis. He has been an inspiration for the world and for me. Now his work is done. May he have his reward with you in heaven. Amen
