We thank God for the life and pontificate of Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday morning. May the Risen Lord be his peace and joy forever.
Cardinal Farrell sadly announced the death of Pope Francis, with these words: “Dearest brothers and sisters, it is with deep sorrow that I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the Father house.
His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized.
With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.”
