Jérusalem, April 2025
Death of Pope Francis
On the morning of Easter Monday, Pope Francis returned to the Father’s house.
The brothers of the Convent of Saint Stephen and the members of the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem join in the prayer of the Church to entrust the soul of Pope Francis to the Lord. May God welcome him into his house.
The death of Pope Francis is an opportunity to give thanks for a life given to God. A man of conviction, fidelity, and faith, attentive to each person, he led the Church in simplicity in the service of the poorest, the common good, and peace. May he rest in peace!
