Kelly Image Credit: Paul Evangelion 2025 ++ Last Monday, Easter Monday, the 21st of April 2025, we received news that our Pope, Pope Francis, had passed away. Our prayers are with him and we commend his soul to God's heavenly care, with gratitude for his ministry and his love and his message of Christ's gospel of mercy and inclusion. Let's keep the repose of the soul of Pope Francis in our prayers and pray for the Church as it enters this time of discernment, as the Cardinals, inspired by the Holy Spirit, meet to elect a new Pope. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. +++++ ++++++++ Archive of homilies and reflections: http://homilycatholic.blogspot.com.au To contact Fr.
