Sr Ann Marie fcJ, in the staff of the FCJ Christian Life Centre, has been sharing weekly video reflections. Watch here her reflection upon the death of Pope Francis. Ann Marie says:
The experience of witnessing live the Funeral of Pope Francis was surely worth getting up in the middle of the night to watch it! It was such a moving tribute to a man who truly was a Pope of the People. People from all over the world coming together to pray and to offer thanks for the person and the ministry of Francis!
There were so many memorable moments. The faces of so many people, standing for hours to pray at his coffin or to attend his Funeral Mass and burial. Those who lined the streets between the two churches as the Pope’s casket passed through the streets of Rome… so much to mull over! The homily was especially beautiful as the Cardinal, Cardinal Re, who, I understand is in his 90s, stood there offering us a heart-felt tribute to a man whom he obviously loved and admired.
Watch here Ann Marie’s full reflection.
