This was a man who lived his life trying to follow Christ's example. This was a man who we will forever be grateful to God for.
REST IN PEACE WITH GOD DEAR PAPA.
Dearest Pope Francis
Thank you for your service to God and his church. your love for the poor and needy and for listening to the voices of our young people. On the day of your funeral we celebrated the sacrament of Confirmation. This was truly a wonderful way to bring our young people who reflected on your life, offering prayers for your eternal peace and happiness.
May God our Heavenly Father take you into his loving arms.
God bless you Pope Francis may you rest in perfect peace .
Amen
Somewhere in our hearts, a Catholic remains a Catholic and a Christian remains a Christian, even if they use different labels or descriptions! But I wake up when a baptised man I've known for decades and who defined himself as an atheist - not even an agnostic - says that Pope Francis led him back to his Christian faith. Francis was not a high-calibre theologian, but he was a communicator who sensed the ordinary before preaching the extraordinary. The whole church needs such communicators who wear their faith on their sleeves. I say this as an ecumenist, an Armenian but most fundamentally as a Christian whose faith manifesto seeks the Beatitudes rather than the Encyclicals, & the Word as much as the Mystery.
We give thanks to God for the life, hope, and faith of Pope Francis, his pontificate has been a blessing to the world. Pope Francis was truely a Pope of mercy, compassion, and peace. We are eternally grateful. May he rest in peace. God bless.
I want to say how sorry I felt at the death of Pope Francis, he was such a lovely man. He did so much during his time as Pope and I hope the next candidate follows his example. RIP Pope Francis.
I pray that pope francis, rests in eternal peace.
He was a great representation of the catholic faith. My heart goes out to all saddened by his passing, and for our mother to watch over everyone.
