April 21, 2025. At 9.47 this morning, His Eminence Cardinal Kevin Joseph Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, announced with sorrow the death of Pope Francis, with these words:
“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.
At 7.35 this morning the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was devoted to service to the Lord and His Church.
He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalized.
Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia: "We lose a Universal Father, capable of giving a vision and a message to our whole world and our time. Personally, I lose a friend, with whom I could openly address any topic."
La tomba è stata realizzata in marmo di provenienza ligure con la sola iscrizione "FRANCISCUS" e la riproduzione della sua croce pettorale. La tomba è stata preparata nel loculo della navata laterale tra la Cappella Paolina (Cappella della Salus Populi Romani) e la Cappella Sforza della Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. La tomba è situata nei pressi dell'Altare di San Francesco.
