Lakeland Catholic Schools Mourns Pope Francis Novena for the Repose of His Holiness (Day 3) Merciful and loving God, We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and sorrow as we remember Your servant, Pope Francis. You called him to be a shepherd to Your people, a voice for the poor, and a sign of Your mercy to the world. As we entrust him to Your eternal care, we ask You to welcome him into the joy of Your heavenly kingdom. Grant him peace, and give us strength to carry forward the light of his witness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Gratitude for His Life: We give thanks, O Lord, for the life of Pope Francis, for his witness to humility and mercy, and for his care for the poor and creation. Faithful Shepherd: We pray in thanksgiving for his years of ministry, that he may now receive the reward of his faithful service. Servant of Peace: We reflect on his message of peace, dialogue, and fraternity among peoples. May we carry this legacy forward. Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be… Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, Through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. #IBelieveinCatholicEd
