Following the death of Pope Francis, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti led a rosary prayer in St. Peter's Square, attended by many mourners. Gambetti reflected on the Pope's teachings, urging attendees to remember to pray for him. The prayer noted the significance of death as a transition rather than an end, and recalled the Easter faith. This public commemoration marked the first in The Vatican since the Pope's passing, which was attributed to a stroke and heart failure. The Pope requested burial at St. Mary Major Basilica, reflecting his devotion to the Virgin Mary.
"Do not forget to pray for me," said Pope Francis many times, and we gather this evening to accompany him in his Easter, celebrating the risen Christ."
The atmosphere during the rosary prayer carried an overwhelming sense of grief and mourning, marking the first public act of remembrance since the Pope's passing.
