It is with deep sorrow that I extend heartfelt condolences on behalf of the Government and people of Grenada on the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday at the age of 88, was considered by many a moral giant of our time. He was a humble servant leader, a voice for the poor and marginalised, whose life was defined by compassion and justice.
His voice resonated far beyond the walls of the Vatican and in the hearts of people across the Catholic faith. He championed peace and unity and was a true advocate for preserving the Earth, our home.
His leadership inspired millions to see the world not through the lens of division but through the eyes of mercy and love. Even in his time of illness, Pope Francis dared to serve with courage and humility. This should be a lesson for all of us to follow.
To the global Catholic community and especially to the brothers and sisters of the Catholic faith here in Grenada, we share in your grief and lift you up in prayer during this time of mourning.
Even in the developed world, the effects of unjust structures and actions are all too apparent. Our efforts must aim at restoring hope, righting wrongs, maintaining commitments, and thus promoting the well-being of individuals and of peoples. Pope Francis
