Cardinal William Goh pays tribute to Pope Francis during his homily for the memorial Mass held on Tue, 22 Apr 2025.

He shares that, just as Jesus gently called Mary by name in her moment of sorrow, Pope Francis reached out with tenderness to those on the margins—whether suffering, marginalised, or searching—offering not judgment but deep understanding and compassionate care.

His enduring legacy is one of profound humanity: a shepherd who “smelled like the sheep,” gave voice to the voiceless, and embraced all, regardless of status or belief.

Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
