With great sorrow, we mark the passing of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord, and he leaves behind a profound legacy of advocating for the dignity of human life.
Pope Francis was a tireless voice against abortion, often using strong, graphic language to convey the gravity of the issue. He boldly stated that "abortion is murder," and likened it to "hiring a hitman" or a crime "against the Hippocratic oath." His powerful words reminded us that the unborn are human beings deserving of protection from the moment of conception.
As we honor his passing, let us carry forward his mission to uphold the sanctity of life. Tomorrow, Saturday, April 26, 2025, his funeral will take place at 10:00 AM Rome time (4:00 AM Eastern Time), where the world will gather to remember his unwavering commitment to pro-life values. May his legacy continue to inspire us to defend life at every stage.
