Twelve years later, the memory of standing beside a true servant of Christ, Pope Francis, during his first public Mass at St. Anne’s Parish in the Vatican, continues to illuminate my path. His love, humility, and unwavering spirit remain a constant call to live with deeper faith and greater service — as a Christian, an Augustinian, and a priest.

I keep in mind many things Pope Francis said, but the one I like most is: “Never lose your sense of humour and your hope”.

Thanks for your example and simplicity. Thanks for sharing the true love of God.

Ooh sweet Lord, as our dear Pope Francis enters the eternal realm may his legacy live on and be replicated by Catholic's around the world. In these uncertain worldly times, may his sacrifice and suffering during his illnesses be offered to lead us to the road of world peace, less marginalisation and more tolerance. This we ask through the intervention of the Holy Spirit and Our Lady who we all revere.

Memorja sabiħa tal-Forum Internazzjonali taż-Żgħażagħ 2019, fejn konna qed niddiskutu l-ittra post-sinodali tant sabiħa Christus Vivit li kien kiteb il-Papa Franġisku. Apparti l-ferħ li kelli li kien ħareġ din l-ittra, bqajt iktar mistgħaġba bl-umilta' tal-Papa meta hu ried jiltaqa’ magħna wieħed wieħed; 250 żgħażugħ. Niftakar kif wiċċ imb'wiċċ miegħu ma stajtx inlissen kelma waħda u eventwalment għidtlu l-ewwel ħaġa li ġiet f’moħħi: “Thank you for everything". Il-Papa ma qalli xejn; ċoe bil-kliem ma qalli xejn imma bit-tbissima tiegħu qalli ħafna. Tbissima ġenwina u serena li kkonfermatli kemm il-Papa kien kuntent li kien qed jiltaqa’ magħna.

Grazzi għażiż Papa Franġisku ta' kemm emmint fina ż-żgħażagħ. Inwiegħduk li l-eżempju ta’ mħabba tiegħek, speċjalment lejn il-fqir u l-imwarrab, ser jibqa’ jkaxkar u jħeġġeġ.

“Jalla Malta, il-qalb tal-Mediterran, tkompli ssaħħaħ it-taħbit tal-qalb tat-tama, l-għożża għall-ħajja, l-akkoljenza tal-ieħor, il-ħerqa għall-paċi bl-għajnuna ta’ Alla, li ismu hu paċi. Ħa jbierek Alla lil Malta u lil Għawdex!”

Pope Francis is someone I really admired. He shows so much kindness, love, and understanding to everyone, no matter who they are. He talks about peace, helping others, and taking care of the world, and that means a lot to me. He makes me feel that it’s okay to be myself and that faith is about love, not judgment. I’m truly thankful for his words and his example. He really was God's representative on Earth, because i truly saw Jesus in him

Thank you, Pope Francis, for being a light in this world. May you Rest in Eternal Peace🕊❤️‍🩹

Thank you, Pope Francis,
for leading with humility, for being a gift to the Church, to young people, and to the world. Meeting you felt like meeting my grandfather - your tender, gentle hands were a beautiful reminder of the Church’s closeness, like the loving touch of our Mother.

The Synod on Young People opened my eyes to a renewed vision of the Church - one of hope, one that listens, that dares to change and grow, yet remains deeply rooted in her authentic self. A Church ready, as the Final Document so powerfully states, “to make the paschal transition from the self-centred ‘I’ to the ecclesial ‘we’, where every ‘I’, clothed in Christ, lives and journeys as a responsible and active agent of the one mission of the People of God.”

Thank you for walking with us. <3

Grazzi talli permezz tiegħek, id-dinja reġgħet saret taf xi tfisser it-tama u l-ħniena; talli dejjem kont hemm għall-batut, għall-fqar u għal min hu fil-minoranza. Grazzi b'mod speċjali għaliex permezz tiegħek stajna nidħlu għas-Sagrament taż-Żwieġ il-mara tiegħi u jien. Idħol mela fl-hena ta dejjem, int li tajt ħajtek biex tqarreb lin-nies lejn Alla.

Strieħ fis-Sliem, Missier.

Imma lielna please tħalliniex nistrieħu…

Santita', tlabna ftit flimkien dak in-nhar għax dik kienet ix-xewqa tiegħi...warajha 10 snin barkiet viċin tiegħek. Għallimtna nitolbu bil-ferħ u naqdu bil-ferħ. Meta tiltaqa' ma saċerdot mimli mħabba għal Ġesu' tħoss il-preżenza tieghU qawwija. Int ħa tibqa magħna b'ID Card ġdida għax biddilt biss l-indirizz. M'hemmx għalfejn flight tickets u VL request issa, bizzejjed tabernaklu għax żgur li issa diġa' ħdejħ titlob għalina u tinterċedi għalina b'qalbek kollha mill-ġenna! Grazzi Ġesu' u agħtih il-mistrieħ ta' dejjem. F'qalbi u f'talbi.

Grazzi maħbub Papa Franġisku. Tajt saħħtek sal-aħħar mumenti ta' ħajtek għal poplu t'Alla. Ħabbejt lil l-iżgħar fost iż-żgħar u kont eżempju ħaj għal kull min kien tbiegħed mill-Knisja Kattolika. Qarribt il-kelma t'Alla lejna u rajna kemm hi relevanti għal żmiennha. Kont il-vuċi tal-batut, ta' min isofri inġustizzji u oppressjoni. Għamilt fil-prattika dak li pprietkajt sa issa wara mewtek. Għażiż Papa Franġisku, issa mur gawdi lil Alla u lil Marija Santissima fil-post imħejji għal dawk li habbewhom.

A truly blessed day and cherished memory of Pope Francis in Malta 🕊️

Bil-motto li għażel għall-pontifikat tiegħu, 'Miserando atque eligendo' (Għax ħenn għalih, għażlu), il-Papa Franġisku fakkarna li s-sejħa tal-Mulej hija msejsa fuq l-esperjenza tal-ħniena tiegħu. Huwa għallimna, bi kliemu u b’għemilu, l-istil tal-Evanġelju: li nkunu qrib xulxin, it-tenerezza u l-kompassjoni.

Nirringrazzjaw lill-Mulej għad-don ta’ ragħaj fidil, għaref, umli u b’saħħtu! Agħtih o Mulej il-mistrieħ ta’ dejjem.

The Church in Malta joins the rest of the Catholic World and all persons of goodwill to grieve the death of His Holiness Pope Francis and to commend him to the Mercy of God of which he was a compassionate witness. May he rest in peace.
