**A Shepherd’s Legacy: Pope Francis (1936-2025)**
Easter Monday will forever mark the day heaven gained a saint who walked among us. Watching Pope Francis’ funeral Mass from Vatican City, I realized: his greatest miracle wasn’t reforming the Church—it was making us *believe* reform was possible.
**Why the world mourns**:
✝️ First pope from the slums (not the palace)
🌎 Turned the Vatican into a “field hospital”
🕊️ Proved faith isn’t rules—it’s radical love
This original hymn (*lyrics below*) is my tribute to the man who:
• Kissed the feet of South Sudan’s warring leaders
• Stood with Indonesia’s Grand Imam as brothers
• Whispered to the sick, *“Let God caress your wounds”*
*“Have courage! Keep joy alive!”* — his final tweet. May we live it.
