Eternal rest, O Lord, grant unto Pope Francis, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
I can’t think of a better way for a dying pope to die. He was able to give his final Easter Urbi et Orbi blessing to the world and say his last words to the Church and all people.
He was able to ride in the pope mobile into St. Peter’s Square and greet the faithful including children to whom he gave candy.
What a heroic Holy Week he had. A visit to a prison on Holy Thursday, meeting with Vice President Vance on Sunday and the Urbi et Orbi blessing and ride in Saint Peter’s Square!
Death on Easter Monday!
Prayer for a Deceased Pope (from the Roman Missal)
God, Who, in Thine ineffable providence, didst will that Thy servant N... should be numbered among the high priests, grant, we beseech Thee, that he, who on earth held the place of Thine only-begotten Son, may be joined forevermore to the fellowship of Thy holy pontiffs. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
Amen.
Amen.

Interesting Blog Header photo choice. It looks a LOT like Orson Welles did in Touch of Evil.
May he find eternal Peace.
Memory eternal.
You just would not believe how much is currently going about the internet regarding, "Vance sees Pope. Pope dies. Coincidence?"
Maybe JD did the planet a favor (as well as the Church!)
