Remembering Pope Francis 

As the church and the world face the reality of world without Pope Francis we pause in a moment of gratitude and prayer, marking his passing into eternal life.

Pope Francis brought the richness of his Jesuit formation and aligned it with the Franciscan care for the poor and creation. He reminded us of our human connection, the movement of the Spirit and called all to the good of all.

As we remember Pope Francis, we are called to continue to be witnesses of the Resurrection and do what is ours to do for the sake of the gospel. Pope Francis made it feel like he was walking with each one of us,  may we continue this as true Pilgrims of Hope.

May eternal rest grant unto him.

May perpetual light shine on him.

May Pope Francis rest in peace.

“Be praised, my Lord, for our Sister Death,

whom we must all face.

I praise and bless you, Lord,

and I give thanks to you,

and I will serve you in all humility.”
