教宗方济将安葬於罗马圣母大殿

今天心中格外沉重。八十八岁的教宗方济於昨日因脑中风及不可逆转的心臟衰竭，在住所中安然辞世。梵蒂冈证实消息后，全球哀悼。他是歷史上第一位来自拉丁美洲的教宗，谦逊、温暖，始终以行动传递信仰与慈悲的力量。令人难以置信的是，就在他辞世的前一天，他仍然搭乘敞篷车，在广场上向数千名復活节朝圣者微笑挥手——如此坚强与深情。

他在2022年6月的遗嘱中曾写下这样一段话：「当我感知尘世生命即将步入暮色，怀着对永恆生命的坚定希望，我愿仅就安葬地点表明最终意愿。」

他的选择是罗马的圣母大殿，那将成為他灵魂安息之地。

Pope Francis To Be Laid To Rest At The Basilica Of Saint Mary Major in Rome

My heart feels especially heavy today. Pope Francis, at the age of 88, passed away on Monday due to a stroke and irreversible heart failure. The Vatican confirmed that the first Latin American pope in history died peacefully in his residence. It’s hard to believe that just a day earlier, he was riding in an open vehicle, smiling and waving to thousands of Easter pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square — a final gesture of grace and strength.

In a will written in June 2022, he stated: “When I sense that my earthly life is nearing its twilight, with steadfast hope in eternal life, I wish only to express my final desire regarding my burial place.”
Now, he will be laid to rest at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome — a place of deep devotion and peace.
Though he has left this world, his compassion, humility, and unwavering faith remain with us.

May he rest in the eternal embrace of the Lord.
