According to the Vatican, Pope Francis’ entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His church, and he taught everyone to live the values of the gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love.

He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalised.
With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.”
