Easter Monday was a very sad day for us rejoicing Christians as we celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and all of a sudden we received the news of the passing of our beloved Pope Francis. Ten of us parishioners of Sacred Heart Church, Bahrain, had opportunity to attend the Papal Mass of Pope Francis on November 5, 2022 through the invitation of previous Apostolic Administrator of Arabia, Bishop Paul Hinder, during the Pope’s visit to the Kingdom of Bahrain from November 3-6, 2022, where my wife and myself had the privilege to attend Pope Francis’s Mass to partake in the Eucharistic Celebration amongst the thousands gathered. As we mourn the death of our dear Pope, who worked for the downtrodden and sought to bring peace in the warring countries. May God grant his soul eternal rest and may our blessed Mother accompany him to the heavenly Father. Rest in peace our beloved Pope Francis.
