Statement On Funeral Of Pope Francis

Labor Party

Today the prayers of the faithful go with the Holy Father to his final rest.

Pope Francis' compassion embraced all humanity. His loss has been mourned all around the world, just as his life has been celebrated.

While today's funeral in Vatican City will be attended by leaders of church and state alike, we will remember Pope Francis as someone who dedicated his life, work and papacy to the poor and the powerless above all.

Even as we say our final farewells, we take comfort in knowing that the many legacies of his life's work will always be around us.

May this man of peace be granted everlasting peace.

And may God welcome Pope Francis to eternal life.
