Gospel of the Day (John 3,16-21)
God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil.
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed.
But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

The tomb of #PopeFrancis at the Basilica of St. Mary Major has been revealed. It's Ligurian marble with just his name, Franciscus, and a reproduction of his pectoral cross.
Pope Francis’ dying wish from his last encyclical:
“In your own way, you too must be a missionary, like the apostles and the first disciples of Jesus, who went forth to proclaim the love of God, to tell others that Christ is alive and worth knowing
That is your mission as well”
Today we begin 9 days of prayer + reflection on Pope Francis’s life + legacy. Each day offers a theme + prayer inspired by his witness of peace, justice, and compassion. May we carry his Gospel mission forward. #PopeFrancis#Franciscan#PrayerforFrancis#GoodShepherd
