O God, faithful rewarder of souls,
grant that your departed servant Pope Francis,
whom you made successor of Peter and
shepherd of your Church,
may happily enjoy for ever
in your presence in heaven
the mysteries of your grace and compassion,
which he faithfully ministered on earth.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Dios nuestro, que recompensas con justicia
a todos los hombres,
concede que tu siervo, el Papa Francisco,
a quien constituiste sucesor de Pedro y
pastor de toda la Iglesia,
pueda gozar eternamente
en el cielo de los misterios de la gracia y del perdón,
que él administró fielmente en la tierra.
Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo
en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios
por los siglos de los siglos.
