Statement of remembrance from Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops:

Pope Francis will long be remembered for his outreach to those on the margins of the Church and of society. He renewed for us the mission to bring the Gospel out to the ends of the earth and offer divine mercy to all. He has also taken advantage of the present Jubilee to call us to a profound hope: one that is not an empty or naïve hope, but one grounded in the promise of Almighty God to be with us always.

Even with his roots in the Piedmont region of Italy, the first Pope from our American Continent was marked by his experience as a Jesuit and a shepherd in Buenos Aires. He brought that experience and vision with him to his ministry for the universal Church.

Recently, he expressed anew prayerful hope in his letter of support to the Bishops of this country in our attempts to respond to the face of Christ in the migrant, poor, and unborn. In fact, he has always used the strongest and clearest expressions in the defense of the dignity of the human person from conception to natural death.

I last saw him at the Jubilee Mass for the Armed Forces, Police, and Security Personnel. Despite the challenges of his health, he was with us and even used a slight gesture to salute the group of bishops who concelebrated the Mass before he boarded the vehicle to return to Santa Marta.

The passage from this life of the Bishop of Rome calls us to pray for his eternal rest and to continue on our path to a deeper union with the Lord Jesus. We remember his leadership in inspiring nations, organizations, and individuals to a renewed commitment to care for each other and our common home.

The Bishops of the United States unite in prayer with Catholics here and around the world and all people of good will in gratitude for the life of our revered shepherd. We mourn the passing of our Holy Father and beg Saint Joseph to accompany him. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord.

PRAYER
Gracious God, we praise and thank you for the Catholic Church in Western Washington.
We praise and thank you for the women and men who have shared the joy of the Gospel here
for more than 170 years.
Send your Holy Spirit upon us that we might encounter your Son anew and become more
effective partners in sharing the Good News of his saving love.
May our partnership in the Gospel empower us to be your missionary disciples, bringing the
Good News to all, especially to those who are marginalized or hurting in any way.
Give us the courage, the flexibility and the vision to renew parish life, so that the good work,
begun long ago, may continue among us, and one day, be brought to completion in your
Kingdom, where you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.
