With Sorrow

With sorrow and Easter joy, Fr. Lalo Jara honors Pope Francis: a humble shepherd, tireless advocate for the poor, and messenger of mercy. Rest in peace, Holy Father.

Pope Francis memorial tribute – Thank You, Pope Francis – Fr. Lalo Jara, Mission San Luis Rey Parish

With sorrow but with Easter joy, we join in prayer for the eternal repose of our Pope Francis. We thank God for his life dedicated to the Gospel, his witness of humility, his love for the poor, and his tireless call for mercy and peace. In communion with the entire Church, we raise our prayers for the soul of the Holy Father. Enjoy now the eternal Easter, Pope Francis. You, who taught us to reach out to others with tenderness and joy, continue to accompany the Church from the House of the Father. Thank you for everything you did for our Church. 

Fr. Lalo Jara, OFM Pastor,
