This morning, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis:
“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.” (Vatican News)
Note that the canonization of Bl. Carlo Acutis has been postponed due to the passing of Pope Francis. We will share more when we hear of the new canonization date.
