Pope Francis passed away this morning at age 88 due to a cerebral stroke that resulted in irreversible heart failure, as confirmed by the Vatican. Cardinal Kevin Farrell expressed deep sorrow in announcing the Pope's death, highlighting his life's dedication to serving God and the Church. Pope Francis, who had faced health issues such as chronic lung disease, spent an extended time in the hospital before his death. His final public appearance was on Easter Sunday, demonstrating his commitment to spreading the Gospel's values of love and care for the marginalized.
Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7.35am this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father.
He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalised.
