The Catholic community across the globe has been plunged into mourning following the death of Pope Francis at the age of 88.

Known in private life as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he made history in 2013 when he became the first Latin American pope. Now, as the world reflects on his life and legacy, his final wishes have been made public.

In a heartfelt testament written in June 2022 and published by the Vatican, Pope Francis shared his deep trust in God and his enduring devotion to the Virgin Mary. He asked that his final resting place be the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome—a site dear to him, where he would pray at the start and end of every Apostolic Journey.

He requested to be buried in a simple grave, without elaborate decoration, bearing only the name “Franciscus.” The tomb will be located between the Pauline Chapel and the Sforza Chapel within the Basilica, according to the detailed plan he left behind.

In addition, he stated that the cost of his burial will be covered by a donation from a benefactor, with arrangements already handled by Msgr. Rolandas Makrickas.
