Yesterday, Pope Francis made a brief appearance from a wheelchair at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican, waving to the crowds and offering a heartfelt greeting: “Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter.” Though he did not deliver his Easter message himself, it was shared on his behalf by a clergy member, followed by a short drive around the square.
Today, with deep sorrow, the Vatican has announced the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis, at the age of 88. The news was shared by Cardinal Kevin Farrell on Easter Monday morning:
“At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. 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 faith, courage, and universal love — especially towards the poor and the marginalized.”
Pope Francis had recently been discharged from the hospital following treatment for double pneumonia. Despite ongoing health challenges, including a history of lung issues, he continued to serve faithfully, offering spiritual guidance to millions around the world.
His final public Easter blessing on Sunday was a poignant moment, as he greeted thousands of faithful from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica and took a brief ride through the crowd in the popemobile.
We join the world in mourning a remarkable spiritual leader whose life was a testament to compassion, humility, and unwavering faith. May his soul rest in the peace of Christ.
