Pope Francis' last day coincided with Easter Sunday, as he addressed a crowd in St. Peter's Square despite his frail condition. His passionate appearance raised hopes but ultimately marked a heartfelt farewell. The following day, mourners gathered to honor the pope who had struggled with health issues, including double pneumonia. Observers, like Rev.

His final moments reflected his dedication to public service even in frailty.
