Some may call it chance, but perhaps it is divine intervention. Just days prior, on Easter Sunday, Christians globally commemorated the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Vatican City, Pope Francis, still recovering from a recent hospitalization, greeted crowds in Saint Peter’s Square from the popemobile before delivering a blessing from the basilica balcony to the thousands assembled.
A Pontiff’s Legacy: Soul, Mind, and Heart
Many observers have reflected on the impact of past pontiffs, noting that Pope John Paul II revitalized the spirit of the Church and the world by emphasizing the inherent divinity within each person. He championed the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of each individual.
Pope Benedict XVI, with his formidable intellect, reignited the importance of reason, asserting that faith and reason are complementary gifts, working in harmony.
Pope Francis arrived with a focus on compassion and grace, concepts often linked to the heart. He persistently urged a shift from animosity and callousness toward kindness and affection. These three pillars – soul, mind, and heart – are essential components of our humanity.
This gentle, soft-spoken shepherd, known for his smiles, blessings, and embraces, now returns to God, whose mercy is eternal, a God who resides in our souls, inspires our intellect, and loves us deeply.

Memories of New York City Visit
Following his election, the college of cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel for Mass. The newly elected Pope Francis addressed the cardinals with simplicity and faith. A fellow cardinal, the Archbishop of Vienna, remarked, “He speaks like Jesus!” The response was, “That seems to be the job description!”
Pope Francis fulfilled his role admirably and will be deeply missed.
During his memorable visit to New York City in 2015, Pope Francis journeyed through a packed Central Park in the popemobile. People of all backgrounds enthusiastically greeted the pontiff with cries of “Viva il papa!”
With faith in divine mercy, a concept frequently emphasized by the Holy Father, we believe he now has eternal life.
