It is with sadness that we learn the news of Pope Francis' passing. May he rest in peace.
God’s Beautiful Garden
God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering; he knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyes and whispered, “Peace be Thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. May his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
