We Mourn Together with the World
"For whether we live, we live to the Lord, and whether we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's." – Romans 14:8
As Catholics from around the world celebrate the resurrection of the Lord during Easter Sunday, CAN Malaysia joins the world in mourning the sudden passing of our Holy Father, Pope Francis on 21 April 2025.
Pope Francis will be remembered for his call for peace in times of conflict, and his voice has been among the many, urging a ceasefire in Gaza believing that every human life is sacred, and peace is the only path forward. He constantly called the church to go to the periphery and see all of God’s people. This was a believe that he embodied even throughout his last days on earth.
He leaves behind a legacy of revolution, both in and out of the church. He will be remembered for his work in reforming the Vatican, advocating for an inclusive society by leading through example with his down to earth manner without fear nor favour.
In loving memory.
Requiescat in pace, Pope Francis.
