“Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death, from whom no one living can escape.”
– St. Francis of Assisi, Canticle of the Creatures
The Franciscan Friars of Malaysia and Singapore join the universal Church in mourning the passing of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis.
In his life and ministry, he reflected the simplicity, compassion, and deep joy of St Francis of Assisi. He was a shepherd who walked with the poor, a voice for the voiceless, and a bridge-builder in a broken world. His words, actions, and humble spirit rekindled hope and reminded us all of God’s boundless mercy.
We give thanks for his life, his witness, and his fearless love for the Gospel.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the soul of Pope Francis rest in peace.
