POPE FRANCIS PRAYER
Gracious God,

Hear our voice above the murmurs of sorrow
 for it is the voice of confusion,
 seeking Your still small voice of calm.

Hear our voice as we give thanks for Your faithful servant, Pope Francis.
 For it is the voice of praise,
 joining with sadness and joy.

Hear our voice as we pray for the future,
 for it is a voice of hope
 longing to see Your Church made whole.

Hear our voice as we watch with those who deliberate,
 for it is the voice of humility
 asking for their wisdom and discernment in electing our new pontiff.

Hear our voice as we pray in solidarity with the poor,
 for it is the voice of peace
 searching for justice that Francis prayed with such faithful devotion.

O God, in Easter joy
 we lift our hopes and this prayer,
 with confidence and trust.
 We offer back to You, our brother, Your son, Francis,
 a leader and pontiff we will always remember with fondness and gratitude.

In the name of the Risen Lord we pray, Amen.
