Message from Bishop Zammit
With deep sorrow, we join the global Catholic community and all other people of good will in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. He was a pastor of mercy and a relentless advocate for justice. From the moment he stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in 2013, declining the trappings of grandeur and asking for our prayers, Pope Francis charted a new course for the church. His commitment to the poor, his insistence on dialogue over division, and his courage in confronting uncomfortable truths defined his leadership. Whether embracing migrants on the shores of Lampedusa, challenging world leaders on climate change, or calling for a church that truly listens, Francis lived out the Gospel with boldness and humility.
He encouraged the Church to show the world the merciful face of Christ. He also emphasized the importance of our personal witness to the light of faith, drawing others to the life-giving joy of the Gospel.
May his example continue to inspire us toward a more just and compassionate world.
May God embrace him as a good and faithful servant.
