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
Pope Francis brought me back to my catholic faith by his simple message of love and compassion and family. Pope Francis showed me how to love thy neighbour as your self. Compassion, love and understanding he showed to people from other faiths, inspired me to be better catholic. Rest in peace Pope Francis you gave me my faith and my God back, give Jesus a hug from me. Rest in peace
Thankyou God for Pope Francis and the joy of his pontificate reaching out to all your Creation. May we cherish his Care for our Common Home amd all its inhabitants. Furthermore may we synodally seek a sustainable path under the guidance of your Holy Spirit thanks to your bishops seeing the light and Trusting in You as Francis modelled for us all. May Framcis rest in peace and rise in glory!
Thank you - THANK YOU - for helping us to know Jesus, His mercy, His refusal to give up on us, His tenderness and His commitment to destroy evil; and thank you for awaking us afresh to the call to evangelisation. May you enter now fully into the Father's embrace, and, like your friend St Thérèse, spend your heaven doing good on earth. Intensively and unremittingly.
Rest in Peace Beloved Pope Francis
Thank you for being the light on earth shining for our Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I will miss you, your smile and grace.
Eternal rest grant unto Him o Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon Him
May he rest in peace.
Amen
