I express my closeness to the people of the Philippines who have been hit by a violent typhoon: I pray for the deceased and their families, as well as for the injured and displaced.

READ: The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), in its released pastoral letter on flood control corruption, urged Filipinos to rise above the floods of corruption and help rebuild the nation on truth, justice, and the common good.

"Ang tunay na katarungan ay hindi lang basta parusa. Kailangan din nito ng pagsasauli ng yaman [na] ninakaw sa kaban ng bayan," CBCP said in the pastoral letter.

Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) President Cardinal Pablo David, in a pastoral letter, stresses that real justice demands not only punishment for the perpetrators but also returning what was stolen to the Filipino people.

He also urged the youth to use their digital world to actively expose corruption and push for accountability.

“If there’s still a corner your blessings haven’t reached, your Angelus blessings, your Audiences, your Apostolic Letters and Exhortations, your Speeches and Messages, your Encyclicals, your Homilies, your Journeys, your Daily Meditations, and your prayers… To that corner, surely your smile, filled with mercy and hope, made its way.”

We recall the Pope's smile, reaching to every corner of the world.

Paalam, Papa Francisco.

Pope Francis, pope of masses!

The only pope who brave typhoon to be with his flock.

Salamat Lolo Kiko!

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

My personal favourite Pope Francis moment. The Pope speaking to religious in the Philippines quotes Christ's words "Do you love me?", and they respond "Yes". The Pope's reaction is priceless ...

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

It is with great sadness that Jill and I learned of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was unlike any who came before him. Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most consequential leaders of our time and I am better for having known him. For decades, he served the most vulnerable across Argentina and his mission of serving the poor never ceased. As Pope, he was a loving pastor and challenging teacher who reached out to different faiths. He commanded us to fight for peace and protect our planet from a climate crisis. He advocated for the voiceless and powerless. He made all feel welcome and seen by the Church. He promoted equity and an end to poverty and suffering across the globe. And above all, he was a Pope for everyone. He was the People's Pope - a light of faith, hope, and love.

In his last Easter Sunday message, Pope Francis challenges the faithful to reflect on the power of freedom and respect in building a peaceful world for all.

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.

Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”
