“Miserando atque eligendo (Having mercy on him, he chose him)
With these words of the Venerable Bede, Pope Francis reminded us that the Lord’s call is rooted in the experience of His mercy. He taught us, through both words and deeds, the style of the Gospel: closeness, tenderness, and compassion. Let us thank the Lord for the gift of a faithful, wise, humble and strong shepherd! Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.”
Earlier today, Archbishop Charles Scicluna signed the book of condolences of His Holiness Pope Francis, which is at the Apostolic Nunciature for Malta in Tal-Virtu, Rabat.
