The world is constantly changing, and sometimes these changes can be heartbreaking. Today, we mourn the passing of Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, who was loved for his leadership and reforms. The news of his demise was confirmed by the Vatican through a video statement.

Although the physical presence of Pope Francis is no longer with us, his memories and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of many. One memorable moment from his life was when he met Italian actor Roberto Benigni. Benigni, known for reciting a line from Dante’s Divine Comedy at the 1999 Oscars, hosted an Italian show based on St. Francis’ poem The Canticle of the Sun where he met the Pope. During their meeting on December 7, 2022, Benigni gifted a DVD of the program to Pope Francis.

Reports indicate that Pope Francis was hospitalized for several weeks due to respiratory illness caused by bronchitis before his passing. He was admitted to the Gemelli hospital in Rome, Italy, on February 14.
