On the eve of the funeral of Pope Francis, we remember all our Catholic friends in Romsey and throughout the world.

O God, who in your wondrous providence
chose your servant Pope Francis to preside over your Church,
grant, we pray,
that, having served as the Vicar of your Son on earth,
he may be welcomed by Him into eternal glory.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
