🕊️ I express my deepest condolences on the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis to those Catholics mourning worldwide as a beacon of compassion, always animated when walking humbly alongside his devoted flock. This ethic of openness as a leader is inspiring, radically reminding us through this lived example how power placed beyond the hearts of our people is fatally flawed.
👐 May his legacy live on as a bridge between different faiths talking together having championed interfaith dialogue across all cultures, nations & people. Pope Francis made ground-breaking visits to the Arabian Peninsula visiting Abu Dhabi in UAE during 2019, then dedicating Fratelli tutti to Sheikh Al-Tayyeb. He once said: "peace does not demand winners or losers, but brothers & sisters […] journeying from conflict to unity."
Seeing great divisions, I'm reflecting on this today.
We need more leaders like Pope Francis.
