Pope Francis was a man of vision, humility, and unwavering commitment to the Gospel. He was a champion of the poor, a defender of the common good, and a shepherd who lived his preaching with authenticity and grace. Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis called all Catholics to action, urging us to embrace compassion, justice, and care for our brothers and sisters in need. His leadership was strong yet humble, firm but gentle, always guided by a profound love for humanity and a desire to build a world rooted in mercy and peace. Thank you Pope Francis for your tireless ministry, your courageous voice, and your enduring example of faith in action. May your legacy continue to inspire us to walk in the footsteps of Christ, carrying forward his mission of love and solidarity. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
