Quote graphic of Pope Leo XIV. The quote reads: The situation in the Gaza Strip is worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid and to put an end to the hostilities, the heartbreaking price of which is paid by children, the elderly, the sick.

During his first general audience in St Peter's Square, Pope Leo XIV has called for sufficient humanitarian aid to be allowed into the Gaza Strip.

Grazie #PapaFrancesco!

At @Pontifex #PopeFrancisFuneral

The principal celebrant of #PopeFrancisFuneral,
#CardinalBattistaRe said many powerful things in his homily. Notably #PopeFrancis' "insistence of working on behalf of the poor", "to serve #refugees & #DisplacedPeople" & his message to the world "#BuildBridgesNotWalls".

Ahead of today’s funeral, we give thanks for the life of Pope Francis and join in prayer.

Thank you to Katy from our DR Congo team for this prayer. His 2023 visit to the DRC came at a critical time, with millions turning out to hear his message of peace and solidarity🙏

On the morning of Pope Francis’s funeral, our Director Christine Allen spoke to CNN.

She reflected on two moments:
💚 The publication of Laudato Si’, his landmark encyclical on care for our common home.
🕊️ The moment he kissed the feet of South Sudan’s warring leaders, urging them to choose peace.

Photo of CAFOD Director, Christine Allen with the quote: As the world comes together to honour and celebrate the life of Pope Francis, we must remember that he left us with unfinished business. In this Jubilee year, we of course remember that Pope Francis called us to be ‘pilgrims of hope’, and it is up to all of us now to continue that hope, follow his example and finish what he started: promoting peace, reconciliation and hope, and continuing to fight against injustice and inequality wherever it is found."

As the world honours Pope Francis at his funeral, we remember a leader who stood with the poor, challenged injustice, and inspired change.

Christine Allen reflects on his mission of mercy – speaking up for the vulnerable and addressing the causes of inequality. We carry his legacy forward.

Eternal rest give un to him O'Lord & let perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace 🙏🏼

Grieving for our beloved #PopeFrancis, friend of the poor & champion of caring for & protecting creation, he was a truly loving man & great #WorldLeader 🌍🕊

Prayer on the death of Pope Francis We pray for Pope Francis. We pray that world leaders remember his words and act to put an end to the human suffering caused by the climate crisis.

As the world mourns his passing, Pope Francis’ legacy will be remembered as one that brought the Church closer to its mission of love, mercy and justice. We come together in prayer to give thanks for the life.

Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis. You have been the voice of the voiceless, the champion of the poor.

May perpetual light shine upon you, just as you have shone on this world.
