    Just read that canonization of Carlo Accutis which was scheduled for this coming Sunday has been postponed because of the death of PF.

    John Paul II passed away on the first Saturday after Easter, and Francis on the first Monday.

    I’m in disbelief, even though he has been very sick recently. Praying for the repose of his soul but many prayers that the next Pope will be elected that will be a valiant defender of the faith.

    God bless!

    The Divine Mercy Novena will I'm sure, include the repose of the soul of Pope Francis now, but its a shame Blessed Carlo's Canonization will be postponed from Divine Mercy Sunday but Our Good Lord (He is Risen!) must have something better in store..

    No fake sorrow from me, I cannot do it. I consider his death a gift of mercy from God. I pray for his soul, however I am extremely happy that the globalist wolf in sheep's clothing Pope Francis is gone. Especially since it seems like everything is on the up swing now. I also think the timing of him dying just after Easter is perfect for a renewal of the church. By Pentecost we will have a new Pope, which will likely be a good one.

    I suspected this might happen, Pope Francis dying and Carlo's canonization being postponed... We leave tomorrow on our trip, which now has the focus of praying for our new pope. May he be the holy leader we don't deserve but desperately need! What a crucial and exciting moment for the Church!

    Isn't it incredible. I find it very promising, especially with this renewal happening in the church worldwide. The timing is perfect in regards to the liturgical calendar. It is possible that the first saint the new Pope will announce will be Carlos, yet another indicator of the renewal of the church. Incredible timing.

  15. We do not know what will follow Pope Francis... we really have no idea how bad it can truly get... we should pray for people who wrong us and hate us as Jesus did. Father, forgive them for they know not what they do... I fear this was only a warm up...

    Absolutely, but when I look at the trend in the church I think we have a lot of reason to be hopeful. I think there is a good likelihood we will end up with his eminence Pizzaballa as Pope.

    Would you look at this, Pizzaballa was born 21 April 1965. Pope Francis died 21 April 2025. 60 years to the day.

  20. Pizzaballa is one I truly hope for but in my heart, I do fear "they" will do what they want. But yes I feel something special from that great man of God.
