Divine Mercy

Several years ago, I got to meet Pope Francis. I didn’t have much time with him, so I asked him one question: “Holy Father, can you please pray for my sister and her future spouse, whoever that might be?” Two weeks later, my sister began to date her now husband, which is incredible. However, what struck me the most was how Pope Francis responded to me. He said, “I will, of course, pray for your sister, but I need prayers, too. So please pray for me.”

Pope Francis was a man who told the truth about himself. He needed Jesus, and he needed Jesus’s mercy. So, one of the ways we can carry on his legacy is by being honest with ourselves and saying to ourselves, “I need Jesus, and I need his mercy.” Pope Francis was a pope of mercy, and so we pray for him now and for these next nine days of mourning. Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis, O lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
