Prayer for Pope Francis
Merciful God,
Today, the entire Church bows in sorrow as we bid farewell to Pope Francis, Your faithful servant, returning to the eternal home You have prepared.
Kindly receive him into the fullness of joy and everlasting peace in Your Kingdom.
We thank You for the example of humility, mercy, and love that he sowed in the heart of the world.
May the seeds of faith, hope, and charity he planted continue to grow strong in each of us.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

教皇フランシスコに感謝
あなたが、カトリックの仲間になるようにと、ずっと呼んでくださってました。
あなたの勇気と愛ある行動のニュースに勇気づけられ、私はカトリックの信徒になりました。
どうか、帰天されても、地上の平和のためにお祈りくださいますように。
そして、地上の各国の首脳が、平和を実現するために活動を開始しますように。
教皇フランシスコ、ありがとうございました。
神に感謝🌸 🌸 🌸
教皇フランシスコの永遠の安息のために
慈しみ深い主よ、亡くなられた教皇フランシスコにあなたのもとで、永遠の安息をお与えください。そして、亡くなられた教皇フランシスコをあなたの取次ぎ手としてください。彼ほど自らを謙遜にし、人々に仕えた教皇はありません。特に貧しい人々、難民や社会の底辺に置かれている人々、子供や女性への慈しみと愛を行動によって示されました。教会は出かけていって野戦病院にならなければならないと仰いました。災害や暴力や戦争で苦しみ人々を心にかけ、平和のために祈り続けられました。私たちも教皇フランシスコに倣って慈しみに満ちた人、他者の苦しみに共感し、困難を抱える人に手を差し伸べ、共に住む地球のために働き、紛争の渦巻く世界に平和をもたらす人となるようにと願います。特に今日ローマで開かれる教皇の葬儀に集まる各国の首脳が心を開き、亡くなった教皇フランシスコの心に触れ、慈しみと愛と平和を世界にもたらす指導者となるよう心から祈ります。

Prayer of Farewell to Our Beloved Shepherd
Lord Jesus Christ, You are the light that guides our way, the lamp that illuminates our steps through the darkness of this world. Today, in deep sorrow, we bow our heads to bid farewell to our beloved Shepherd, One who devoted his entire life to leading Your flock in this world. He lived with a simple heart amidst a noisy world, yet his love, humility, and unwavering faithfulness were enough to warm the entire Church, in the radiant light of Easter—where the hope of resurrection burns brightly. The lamp of his earthly life has gently been extinguished… Yet this is not the end, but the beginning of a new journey: A journey back to the Father’s house. He faithfully followed the call of the One he loved all his life. And today, we believe he has been received into the loving arms of God in hope of eternal life, we entrust his soul to the boundless mercy of the Lord. May You, O Lord—the Resurrection and the Life, welcome him into everlasting joy, where pain no longer exists, and Your light shines forevermore. Amen.

Lord, All I Have Is Yours!
Lord,
Today I have come to realize many things. Through Your providence, You have granted me just enough grace to help me let go of my desires. My greed has begun to fade, and I recognize that everything I have comes from You alone.
With Your help, I have learned to embrace my littleness, so that even in my smallness, I may offer a little of myself to Your work of love.
As Easter draws near, I ask You to look kindly upon me. Please grant me the time, dedication, and peace of heart to fulfill my daily duties with love and trust in You.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.🌸 🌸 🌸
