<\/strong>He loved this basilica very much because he loved the Virgin, and he wanted to be buried there, to rest in the arms of the Virgin. How beautiful, what a beautiful example! I, too, must love the Virgin deeply, following the example of Saint Francis, our holy Pope Francis.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel just so connected to the religion, and the setting as whole and everyone here. We're all here for the same thing, to mourn to this amazing man who did so much for the religion and the people everywhere. He had so much love to give and he gave it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have this image of the \u201cPope of the people,\u201d a very gentle and sweet figure of the holy Pope, so no I wasn't surprised by any of the crowds at St. Peters' Basilica or here today.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
