Pope Francis Passes Away at 88
Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, just one day after delivering his final Easter Sunday blessing. Making a brief appearance in a wheelchair on the balcony of St. Peter’s Square, he greeted the faithful with a heartfelt, “Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter.” His final public act served as a poignant reminder of his deep devotion to the Church and its people.
The first pope from the Americas, the Jesuit order, and the Southern Hemisphere, Pope Francis will be remembered for his humility, compassion, and his unwavering efforts to create a more inclusive Catholic Church. In the coming days, a conclave of cardinals will meet in secrecy at the Vatican to elect his successor—a process that could take hours or stretch across several days.
