In memory of the Holy Father Pope Francis
Cari fratelli e sorelle, Pace e bene a tutti i fratelli e le sorelle della Famiglia Francescana!
Nel momento in cui il nostro amato Papa Francesco ci ha lasciato, sentiamo l'urgenza di riflettere sul significato profondo che la sua presenza ha avuto per noi, figli e figlie di San Francesco d'Assisi. Non è stato casuale che Jorge Mario Bergoglio abbia scelto il nome del Poverello d'Assisi per il suo pontificato: questa scelta rivelava già dall'inizio un programma di vita e di missione che ha seguito con coerenza fino alla fine dei suoi giorni.
Pope Francis Has Returned to the House of the Father
Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. 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 of 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.
