Santuario de La Salle: Rest in peace, Holy Father.

One of the graces received this year by Santuario de La Salle was an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis last February 2025, given to Santuario Coordinator Mr. Xavier Apostol and the De La Salle Brothers. Today, we mourn his passing. Let us pray for the soul of our beloved Pope Francis—Lolo Kiko to many of us. Thank you for your love, humility, and unwavering faith. Mahal ka ng Pilipino. Rest in peace, Holy Father.

Prayer for Pope Francis

Eternal Father,

We commend to Your loving mercy the soul of Pope Francis,

who shepherded Your Church with humility, compassion, and courage.

Grant him eternal rest in Your kingdom, where sorrow and pain are no more,

but life everlasting in Your radiant presence.

May Saint John Baptist de La Salle,

faithful servant of education and guide of souls,

accompany him on his journey home to You.

Through the prayers of this holy patron,

may Pope Francis be welcomed with joy by the communion of saints

and embraced in the peace that surpasses all understanding.

We thank You for the gift of his life and leadership,

and we entrust his spirit to You with hope and love.

Amen.

St. John Baptist de La Salle, Patron of Teachers, pray for him!
