    Twelve years of new paths processes and open doors  On link you can find verview of the highlights of Pope Francis' pontificate, his work for peace and human fraternity, and outreach to the poor and migrants.

  Pope Francis´ funeral (BBC)  The funeral will take place on Saturday, April 26, starting at 10:00 a.m. Rome time, when Vatican Radio - Vatican News will broadcast the entire Requiem Mass live, followed by a procession with the Pope's coffin from St. Peter's Square to the Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he will be buried according to his wishes.  Santa Maria Maggiore (Saint Mary Major) is the largest of the churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome. It was built in the 5th century on the ruins of an Augustan building. It is said that Pope Liberius (352-66) had a dream in which the Virgin Mary asked him to build a church for her in a place where it snowed. Snow fell on the Esquiline Hill on the 5th of August, and so the pope had a church built for Mary.

    Jubilee 2025  The theme of the Jubilee Year 2025 that has begun is hope. Pope Francis has chosen the title of his Bull declaring the Jubilee Year from the Letter to the Romans 5:5: “Spes non confundit” or “Hope is not meaningless.” The Bull is, as is typical of Pope Francis, full of gentle wisdom of the heart, which in many places beautifully transcends, for example, the culture  lines. It is also pleasantly short and easy to understand. It is good reading for all Christians and, in general, for all “people of good will,” that is, for everyone who strives for goodness and truth in their lives.
