Requiem Æternam

This morning, Pope Francis died on Easter Monday. Please join me in praying that this humble servant of God has ended his pilgrimage in our heavenly homeland.

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
In memoria æterna erit iustus,
ab auditione mala non timebit.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord:
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
He shall be justified in everlasting memory,
and shall not fear evil reports.

Absolve, Domine,
animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
ab omni vinculo delictorum
et gratia tua illis succurente
mereantur evadere iudicium ultionis,
et lucis æternae beatitudine perfrui.

Forgive, O Lord,
the souls of all the faithful departed
from all the chains of their sins
and by the aid to them of your grace
may they merit to avoid avenging judgment,
and enjoy the blessedness of everlasting light.

Lux æterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in æternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis ;
cum Sanctis tuis in æternum,
quia pius es.

May everlasting light shine upon him, O Lord,
with your Saints forever,
for you are kind.
Grant him eternal rest, O Lord,
and may everlasting light shine upon him.
with your Saints forever,
for you are merciful.
