  •  Good People of Holy Cross,
      
      Please join me in a prayer of thanksgiving for Pope Francis's life and ministry. The bells rang in Saint Peter's 88 times, marking the 88 years of his earthly life. May he now have life eternal.
       
      This Jesuit, with a Franciscan heart, taught us by his words and especially by his example how to follow the Lord who loved the marginalized and outcast. He reminded us that the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth are intimately linked. His humble way inspired us not to seek fame and glory but to simply follow the Lord's will without much pomp.
       
      He invited us to see the Church as a "Field Hospital" for all sinners, not a "Country Club" for the perfect. Who am I to judge, set the tone for his Pontificate. When he was elected, the Franciscan Cardinal sitting next to him in the Sistine Chapel reminded him to "not forget the poor." May this people's Pope be welcomed into paradise where Lazarus is poor no longer. May he find eternal peace.
      
                                                          Father Jude Michael

    Gente Buena de Holy Cross,
     
    Les invito a unirse a mí en una oración de agradecimiento por la vida y el ministerio del Papa Francisco. Las campanas de San Pedro repicaron 88 veces, marcando los 88 años de su vida terrenal. Que ahora tenga vida eterna.
     
    Este jesuita, de corazón franciscano, nos enseñó con sus palabras y, sobre todo, con su ejemplo, cómo seguir al Señor que amó a los marginados . Nos recordó que el clamor de los pobres y el clamor de la tierra están íntimamente ligados. Su humildad nos inspiró a no buscar fama ni gloria, sino a seguir simplemente la voluntad del Señor sin mucha pompa.
     
    Nos invitó a ver la Iglesia como un "hospital de campaña" para todos los pecadores, no como un "club de campo" para los perfectos. "¿Quién soy yo para juzgar?", marcó la pauta de su pontificado. Cuando fue elegido, el cardenal franciscano sentado a su lado en la Capilla Sixtina le recordó que "no se olvidara de los pobres". Que el Papa de este pueblo sea acogido en el paraíso donde Lázaro ya no es pobre. Que encuentre la paz eterna.
     
                                                                  Father Jude Michael
