Pope Francis most embraced people suffering from poverty and oppression. He was the pope of compassion, modesty, humility, and love — the pope close to human realities and frailties. He guided millions of people to believe in the power of love and forgiveness even for those who pain us, including those who torment others with war, hate, and cruelty. He demonstrated the power of giving and not expecting anything back. For the sake of humanity, people of all faiths should follow the example of Pope Francis.
We hope you can take a few minutes of silence today. During that time, please reflect on the teachings of this beloved man, as imperfect as he was, and how you can follow his example and plant the seeds of his legacy in your own life.
