With a heart full of gratitude and reverence, I come to give thanks for the life of our dear Pope Francis.
A man of God, chosen by the Holy Spirit, who brought to us the tender face of mercy and the example of the Good Shepherd — always attentive to the little ones, to those who suffer, to those the world so often forgets.
How many times, Holy Father, did you welcome us with that gentle, attentive gaze… Always receiving our children with the love of a father, as one who sees Christ Himself in them. These memories do not fade — they are lights that shine in our hearts and strengthen our faith.
On behalf of the Jesus Menino family, we now raise our prayer for the Holy Church. May the Lord receive Pope Francis into Heaven.
We pray with filial love, certain that God always cares for His people!
Thank you, Pope Francis. You were a beacon of tenderness and strength, a father to God’s little ones.
Now, may you rest in the arms of the Father and proclaim with Saint Paul:
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Tim 4:7)
With love and longing,
Jesus Child Community
