It was a privilege to meet Pope Francis even for such a brief moment. A man of true peace and humility and with a special vision for the Universal Church. Requiescat in pace.

When Pope Francis was elected Head of the Catholic Church, he stepped out onto the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica and humbly asked all the faithful watching — both in person and online — as well as millions of people of other faiths and none at all, to “pregate su di me” — “pray over me.” To me, this is the greatest tribute to Francis: at the most significant moment of his life, before he offered his blessing to the world, he asked for our prayers. He was an exceptional Pope and an even lovelier human being. Though he led the Catholic Church, he served the whole world. He didn’t see people by colour, height, nationality, or status — he saw everyone simply as human beings. And that is what I will always remember him for. “Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.” — Pope Francis Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

A man of huge humility, kindness, self sacrifice and vision - his life was a testament to what it means to follow Christ. A huge loss to the whole of humanity. Pope Francis we will miss you - pray for us!

A simple man of God with an extraordinary ministry. Saw the value in every person and was a tireless advocate for those on the peripheries. Thank you Pope Francis.
