Praying for the repose of his soul…God bless him…

 

[Tis_Bearself]

May God take this holy and selfless priest directly to heaven. I will pray for his soul.
If he is in heaven already, God can use the prayers to help another priest

John 15:13. No greater love has a man than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

 

[jeannetherese]

Eternal rest grant him, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed
Through the mercy of God
Rest in peace.
Amen.
