We’re making a garden;We’re working the ground. In land that’s bombed and torn, Your love soaks through the soil;New life can yet be born. | | 22 April 2025
This heartfelt tribute honours Pope Francis as a humble and prophetic leader who, like his namesake Saint Francis of Assisi, embraced the poor, challenged Church traditions, and embodied compassion in both word and deed. From his simple lifestyle and care for the marginalised—including refugees, LGBTQI+ individuals, and victims of abuse—to his global advocacy for environmental justice through Laudato Si’, Pope Francis called the world to mercy, simplicity, and peace. He opened conversations on women’s leadership, reimagined evangelisation through love rather than doctrine, and consistently acted as a servant of reconciliation. His legacy is one of radical inclusion, deep humanity, and unwavering hope rooted in God’s love—a legacy we are now called to carry forward. | |
