“We surprised the news of his death and left stunned, after days of hope to see him among people again, with his usual availability to host a hand, providing a charitable smile and affectionate appearance.” Father Ibrahim, Deputy of the Holy Land Nursery, tells Fids Agency
Vatican News
“We were in emaus At that time, Pope Francis left us. The living existence of the resurrection reminds us while the Holy Father joined him. ”
The path of hope was distinguished
“The Holy Father was distinguished by the path of hope in peace: He drew it with simple, concrete, direct signs, gestures and calls. This path traveled in humanity, as Jesus participated with the students of Emaus, reassuring them with his presence. Will we be able to start again and follow this path?
His strength in the difficult value and dignity of human life has strengthened the most shy conscience; Insignity gave security and support to ask the truth and justice. ”
Francisco leaves a wrapped world in violence
By leaving this terrestrial life, Pope Francis leaves a world that is still wrapped in violence and suffering. Children who die with indifference in the world, and young children trying to save themselves from the fire of risk -framed stores – the only refuge that has been granted – are the image of the failure of politics and diplomacy, which the Holy Father made a lot of calls.
“He has always condemned courageously for those who build and trade with tools of death, who benefit from the conflict, for those who allow the war to continue their inhuman mission of conquering lands and destroying lives, and those who do not bear their responsibility for peace.”
