Prayer

 

Pope Francis died on Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta. 

 

We mourn the passing of Pope Francis, a humble shepherd, a voice for peace, and a tireless witness to the love of Christ.

 

In his final Easter message, Pope Francis reminded us of the hope we carry;

 

"Jesus is not here, he has risen' (Luke 24:5)

Love has triumphed. Light has overcome the darkness.

 

As Pilgrims of Hope, we carry his message forward. Even in grief, we do not lose heart. The tomb is empty - and Christ is alive.
