As you may know, Fr. John encouraged everyone to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and we invite you to offer a chaplet for him today.
Eternal Rest Grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
