My message regarding Pope Francis is one of sorrow. The start of the jubilee year seemed so bright. I decided to even commit myself to reading Pope Francis' Saturday Jubilee Audiences and journaling my thoughts on them, sharing my musings with the Lord. I was really determined to make the very best of this rare Jubilee year, but shortly after my first journaling session, it is then announced that the Saturday talks will not continue, as the Pope has been hospitalised. I hoped the Saturday talks would resume when he was released, but this never came to pass, and now we all know this to be impossible. It seems God had planned to take him, and that was that. I just wish I knew how to make sense of the death of the Pope in the midst of being a Pilgrim of Hope. I wish I knew what he would say.
I'd like to also say that I'm grateful for Pope Francis' work and ministry. I believe he truly did his best to guide the ship that is the mystical body of Christ as best as he could through what were confusing waters at moments. I'm thankful for his work. If God can give us this Pope, I'm confident he's still looking after His Church. Onwards and upwards!

I am not a Catholic but I have been inspired by Pope Francis and his ministry.
I hope and pray that his legacy will be a foundation not just for Roman Catholics but for the world. May he rest in the peace of the Lord.
