At Pope Francis’ funeral in St. Peter’s Square, political tensions subtly surfaced as former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were seated miles apart among the dignitaries. As tens of thousands gathered in solemn tribute, the Dean of the College of Cardinals led an emotional farewell to the beloved pontiff, honoring Pope Francis’ lasting legacy of compassion, humility, and global outreach. The separation of world leaders underscored the complex backdrop against which the Catholic Church bids farewell to its first Latin American pope.

00:00countries to express their affection, veneration, and esteem for our late Holy Father.
00:07Many times and presided over great gatherings over the past 12 years,
00:11we are gathered with sad hearts in prayer around his mortal remains.
00:17Yet we are sustained by the certainty of faith,
00:19which assures us that human existence does not end in the tomb,
00:24but in the Father's house,
00:25in a life of happiness that will know no end.
00:32On behalf of the College of Cardinals,
00:42I cordially thank all of you for your presence.
00:47With deep emotion, I extend respected greetings and heartfelt thanks
00:52to the heads of state, heads of government, and official delegations
00:57who have come from many countries to express their affection,
01:04veneration, and esteem for our late Holy Father.
01:07The output of affection that we have witnessed in recent days
01:19following his passing from this earth into eternity
01:21tells us how much the profound pontificate of Pope Francis
01:27touched minds and hearts.
01:30The final image we have of him,
01:48which will remain etched in our memory,
01:50is that of last Sunday, Easter Sunday,
01:55when Pope Francis,
01:56despite his serious health problems,
02:00wanted to give us his blessing
02:01from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica.
02:05He then came down to this square
02:08to greet the large crowd
02:11gathered for the Easter Mass
02:15while riding in the open-top Pope-mobile.
02:22With our prayers,
02:27we now entrust the soul of our beloved pontiff to God
02:31that he may grant him eternal happiness
02:35in the bright and glorious gaze of his immense love.
02:40We are enlightened and guided
02:50by the passage of the Gospel
02:51in which the very voice of Christ resounded
02:56asking the first of the Apostles,
02:58Peter, do you love me more than these?
03:02Peter's answer was prompt and sincere.
03:13Lord, you know everything.
03:16You know that I love you.
03:20Jesus then entrusted him with a great mission.
03:24Feed my sheep.
03:25This will be the constant task of Peter
03:32and his successors.
03:35A service of love
03:37in the footsteps of Christ,
03:41our Master and Lord.
