billion Catholics around the world and countless others of every faith in mourning the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. His leadership transcended religious boundaries and touched the hearts of all who longed for peace, unity, and compassion in a divided world. As the head of the Vatican, a sovereign state, Pope Francis was not only a spiritual leader but also a global statesman whose words carried profound influence among world leaders and everyday people alike. His voice, marked by grace, humility, and a deep empathy for the vulnerable, shaped conversations on justice, human dignity, and global solidarity. Today, we honor the life of the Holy Father, lived in service to others, and we pray for comfort and healing as we mourn this extraordinary loss."
