Headline: “Cardinal Re Honors Pope Francis: A Shepherd of Mercy and Peace”
Message from Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re:
“With profound sorrow yet deep gratitude, I join the universal Church in mourning the passing of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis. He was a tireless shepherd of mercy, a bridge-builder among nations, and a humble servant to the poor and forgotten. His papacy rekindled hope and brought the Gospel to the peripheries of the world with courage and tenderness.
We give thanks to God for the gift of his life and ministry. May his soul, so often burdened by the sufferings of humanity, now rest in the eternal peace of Christ whom he so faithfully followed. As we enter this time of transition, let us remain united in prayer and trust in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who never ceases to renew the Church.”
