🌹💔 A Rosary of Sorrow and Hope: Remembering Pope Francis (Family Rosary Across America)

from The Best of the Week · host Relevant Radio

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.  🧡🙏     The best way to listen to the Best of the Week is on our #1 Free Catholic App. It’s free and always will be!
