The statement from our Archbishops on the Pope’s death…
A joint Statement from the Archbishops on Pope Francis.
"He invited us all into brave, grace-filled conversations about the pain of war, the struggles of identity, the injustice on those least responsible for climate change, and the deep wounds of abuse. He called us to respond with faith and compassion. That legacy will endure."

Rest in peace and rise in glory, Pope Francis, good and faithful servant of Jesus.
We send our love, prayers, and deep sympathies to our Roman Catholic whanau at the loss of this gentle, strong, faithful and immensely loving shepherd, who embodied God's desire that all should be welcomed into God's sheepfold. Even from hospital he was speaking out for justice and peace. How wonderful that he was eased from this life to the next so soon after celebrating the resurrection of Christ.
The day before he died, he gave an Easter Sunday message full of hope and faith:
"Dear brothers and sisters,
In the Lord’s Paschal Mystery, death and life contended in a stupendous struggle, but the Lord now lives forever. He fills us with the certainty that we too are called to share in the life that knows no end, when the clash of arms and the rumble of death will be heard no more. Let us entrust ourselves to him, for he alone can make all things new (Rev. 21:5)!"
Pope Francis chose the name Francis, and clearly chose also to follow his namesake in humility, simplicity and prayer. There are tributes rightly appearing all over social media, but here's a simple offering of "The Prayer of St Francis," played by a friend of mine, if you would like to use it to pause and pray.
