Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin on Sunday said the overwhelming love for Pope Francis must not be a flash of momentary emotion, but that his legacy should be welcomed and lived in the Church and the world.
Speaking during an April 27 Mass in St Peter’s Square, Parolin noted that it was Divine Mercy Sunday, and that mercy had been a central guiding principle throughout Francis’s papacy.
“It is important to welcome as a precious treasure this principle on which Pope Francis insisted so much,” he said.
