Sad news came today as Pope Francis, the 266th leader of the Catholic Church, passed away. He had been elected Pope back in 2013, taking over for Benedict XVI. As the first Jesuit Pope the first one from Argentina and South America, and the first non-European Pope in centuries, Francis made history from the start.
He will be remembered most for connecting with regular folks - being humble and caring about the poor, the forgotten, those pushed aside and his constant message of love and community paved the way for the Church in todays world. From early on, Francis spoke out for social justice, taking care of the environment, and bringing religions together. He called out inequality capitalism that leaves people behind, and global systems that are unfair. By frequently meeting impoverished communities and refugees, he was calling the world to humanity.
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of Pope Francis passing. It feels like we have lost not just a religious leader, but a truly compassionate soul. My thoughts are with all those who are grieving his loss.

It's a sad news to hear about the sudden demise of the first citizen of Christianity all over the world, it is a pity as well that sickness is one of the most current means by which people die nowadays, which money, fame and power could not afford to evade.
But we are happy he lived a life worthy of emulation and the entire world realized his impact on the entire Christian race, we pray that may his gentle loving soul rest in peace, we are all going to miss his relevance and presence, we pray for unity among all the body of Christ to continue moving forward ever and backward never.
Rest on Pop Francis.
