Honoring Pope Francis

Honoring Pope Francis

23 Apr, 2025

As we mourn the passing of our beloved Pope Francis, may we honor his memory by being ambassadors of God’s unconditional love and mercy. He embodied the message of Jesus in the Gospel in his outreach to all in need and his faithful devotion to God’s creation in the natural world.

As he said in 2013, when he was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year: 

“May the church be a place of God’s mercy and hope, where all feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live according to the good life of the Gospel…” 

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
