We express our deepest sorrow over the passing of Pope Francis. This is an especially sad moment, marked by the pain of losing someone whose profound humanity served as a constant guide for us all—someone who taught us, led by example, and became an inescapable moral reference through his solidarity, sense of justice, compassion, and love for others.
As a global community, we have suffered an immense and irreparable loss with his death. We are all aware that we need his presence now more than ever and that we must carry forward his example with unwavering commitment. His voice and calm reason, his actions, and his very life continue to give strength and faith to people and believers around the world.
Thank you, always, for so much. Thank you for your unshakable faith, expressed with such wisdom and peace.
