With true sadness we have learned of the death of the Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Francis. The passing away of a Vicar of Christ is always an occasion of sorrow for the Church. We are united in prayer with those who mourn the loss of our Holy Father. At the same time, we trust, as did he, in the mercy of God and in the promise of Eternal Life given by our Lord Jesus Christ. The true Shepherd has never ceased in leading the flock to green pastures, and He will shepherd us still. May Pope Francis rest in peace.
