Some stories settle into your heart like a gentle prayer whispered in a quiet chapel, and this article about Pope Francis’ humble farewell is one that’s got me positively glowing!

I’m just bursting with warmth thinking about this man, who led 1.4 billion Catholics for 12 years, choosing a plain wooden coffin and a simple tomb marked just “Franciscus” at Santa Maria Maggiore, the first pope buried outside the Vatican in over a century. It’s so uplifting to hear how he shunned fancy papal apartments for a modest guesthouse, washed the feet of prisoners, and embraced the poor, like that man with neurofibromatosis in 2013, showing love in every touch.

I love how 250,000 people filled St. Peter’s Square for his funeral on April 26, 2025, clapping as Cardinal Re praised his mercy and peace advocacy, while 150,000 more lined Rome’s streets, tossing flowers as his popemobile carried him past the Colosseum. The way he lived simply, from riding buses in Argentina to rewriting ornate funeral rites, makes my soul sing.

This story lifts me up because it’s a radiant reminder that true greatness comes from a humble heart, inspiring us all to live with kindness and care for those on the margins.
