Pope Francis chose his papal name after St. Francis of Assisi, bc he admired the friar's love for the poor, & life of simplicity and peace
i like to imagine that they're meeting now<3
Pope Francis died this morning.
Yesterday, I filmed him saying “Buona Pasqua.”
I didn’t know I was looking at him for the last time.
Didn’t know I was capturing a goodbye.
Thank you Papa Francesco for everything.
Deeply pained by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. In this hour of grief and remembrance, my heartfelt condolences to the global Catholic community. Pope Francis will always be remembered as a beacon of compassion, humility and spiritual courage by millions across the world. From a young age, he devoted himself towards realising the ideals of Lord Christ. He diligently served the poor and downtrodden. For those who were suffering, he ignited a spirit of hope.
I fondly recall my meetings with him and was greatly inspired by his commitment to inclusive and all-round development. His affection for the people of India will always be cherished. May his soul find eternal peace in God’s embrace.
