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.
