Cardinal Timothy Dolan expressed astonishment at the timing of Pope Francis' death, occurring a day after Easter Sunday. He noted that while life and death cannot be orchestrated, the timing seemed poignant and fitting. Dolan referred to the late pontiff as an "eloquent preacher" and acknowledged the profound impact he had as a teacher and leader. He remarked on the depth of connection, stating that Pope Francis was akin to a paternal figure for the faithful, marking the moment with deep respect and admiration.
We can never choreograph our own birth or death, that's always in God's hands. But if you can choreograph it, you couldn't choreograph it any better than what happened.
The last time we saw him: Easter Sunday. The last words: A blessed Easter.
The way he lived and the way he died, he was a great teacher, a great teacher.
He was the father of our family.
