Whew… this one hits right in the heart. 💔 On this particularly somber episode of the Family Rosary Across America, our very own Fr. Rocky and Maggie gathered with the whole Relevant Radio family to pray, mourn, and remember a holy soul: Pope Francis, who passed away. 🙏
✝️ Prayer for the Soul of the Holy Father
For nine weeks straight, the family’s been lifting up the Holy Father in prayer, hoping for a full recovery.
Fr. Rocky and Maggie were visibly moved. And let’s be honest… we all felt it.
Maggie put it beautifully:
“We really are one huge Catholic family… and we’re mourning the loss of our father.” 😭
So, tonight’s Rosary is dedicated to the repose of Pope Francis’ soul and to the one who will be called to fill his shoes.
📞Call-In Intentions That’ll Tug Your Heartstrings
–Mateo (9) and Lisa (12) called in from Minneapolis, Minnesota, asking for prayers for their newborn cousin Francisco who’s just 4 weeks old and in the hospital. He needs a specialist to help him.
-Then we met Dan from Superior, Wisconsin: a man who’s recently become homeless. His gentle voice and grateful spirit brought a tear to the eye. Fr. Rocky reflected on how Pope Francis always had a deep love for the homeless, which made Dan’s call feel like divine timing. ❤️
We are not alone. We are a family. And tonight, we prayed as one. 💒🌎
We pray for Pope Francis and the Church.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
🧡🙏
