Pope Francis

God give him that rest the scriptures promise a servant who had done well.

I remember his greeting four years ago, when he met Passionists taking part in their general chapter in Rome. He had come from a busy morning yet instead of going for lunch he spoke to us and greeted each of us.

He greeted about forty of us, each with the same attentiveness that he greeted me. Like Mary Magdalen, I want to cling to him as our leader and pope, but like Jesus he has to “go to the Father.”

He passes on during the long day of Easter.
