At St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV presided over a solemn Requiem Mass in memory of the late Pope Francis and all Cardinals and Bishops who passed away during the past year. In his moving homily, Pope Leo XIV prayed that their souls “might be washed from every stain” and “shine like stars in the sky.” While acknowledging the sorrow of loss and the pain caused by illness and violence, he reminded the faithful that Christian hope endures beyond death. He reflected on the “new Paschal hope” lived, witnessed, and taught by Pope Francis and the departed clergy, calling all Christians to remain steadfast in faith and hope in the Resurrection. 🙏 May their souls rest in eternal peace. #PopeLeoXIV #PopeFrancis #VaticanNews #RequiemMass #CatholicChurch #Vatican2025 #StPetersBasilica #CatholicFaith #PaschalHope #ChristianFaith #PapalMass #VaticanCity #CatholicNews #CardinalsAndBishops #RestInPeace #PapalHomily #PopeFrancisLegacy #FaithAndHope #EternalRest #holymass #holyspirit #holymass #holybible #holyupdate #holybook #PopeLeoXIV #PopeFrancis #VaticanNews #CatholicChurch #Vatican2025 #RequiemMass #StPetersBasilica #CatholicFaith #PaschalHope #ChristianFaith #PapalMass #VaticanCity #CatholicNews #CardinalsAndBishops #RestInPeace #EternalRest #PapalHomily #FaithAndHope #PopeFrancisLegacy #HolyMass #CatholicTradition #Christianity #CatholicLife #VaticanEvents #CatholicBelief #CatholicWorld #DailyMass #CatholicCommunity #PapalCeremony #CatholicPrayer #PapalNews #ChurchUnity #MassForTheDead #CatholicInspiration #ChristianHope #VaticanService #HolySee #PopeHomily #CatholicDevotion #PapalBlessing #vatican #vaticanchurch #vaticancity #vaticano #vaticaninstitute #vaticanradio #vaticanholymasslive #vaticanlive #vaticannewsagency #vaticanupdate #catholicpope #catholicchurch #catholicleader #catholic #catholicfaith
