ES: Hoy despedimos con profundo dolor y gratitud al Santo Padre Francisco, quien a sus 88 años ha partido a la Casa del Padre.
Desde el Movimiento de Schoenstatt queremos agradecer de corazón su vida entregada a Dios, su cercanía con el pueblo, su humildad incansable y su amor profundo por la Virgen María.
El Papa Francisco ha demostrado siempre una especial devoción mariana. En los primeros momentos de su pontificado, confió su magisterio a la Virgen Salus Populi Romani, en la Basílica de Santa María La Mayor en Roma, dónde eligió ser sepultado.
A lo largo de su vida y su pontificado, supo ver en los movimientos marianos una fuerza viva de la Iglesia. Así nos lo recordaba con sus propias palabras:
“Los movimientos marianos son un don del Espíritu Santo para renovar la fe del pueblo. Con su espiritualidad y su entrega a María, ayudan a muchos a encontrar a Cristo.”
Su legado permanecerá en cada corazón que ha aprendido a amar más a Dios y a nuestra Madre gracias a su testimonio.
Que María, a quien tanto amó, lo reciba en sus brazos.
Descanse en paz, querido Papa Francisco.
IN:Today we bid farewell with deep sorrow and gratitude to the Holy Father Francis, who at the age of 88 has departed to the Father’s House.
From the Schoenstatt Movement, we want to wholeheartedly thank him for his life devoted to God, his closeness to the people, his tireless humility, and his deep love for the Virgin Mary.
Pope Francis always showed a special Marian devotion. In the first moments of his pontificate, he entrusted his teaching to the Virgin Salus Populi Romani, in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome, where he chose to be buried.
Throughout his life and pontificate, he recognized Marian movements as a living force in the Church. He reminded us in his own words:
“Marian movements are a gift of the Holy Spirit to renew the faith of the people. With their spirituality and dedication to Mary, they help many to find Christ.”
His legacy will live on in every heart that learned to love God and our Mother more deeply through his witness.
May Mary, whom he loved so dearly, receive him in her arms.
Rest in peace, dear Pope Francis.
