A great man and a great spiritual leader, a great inspiration and a great loss to us all. May God bless him. May all the people the Pope inspired have the faith and courage to continue his magnificent work.
"The Holy Father was a priest to the last, for he offered his life to God for his flock and for the entire human family ... especially in the sufferings of his final months."
