Critically Sick Pope Francis Has Just Passed Away 30 Minutes Ago — Social Media Reacts to the Message He Left Behind
Vatican City, April 21, 2025 — The world is mourning today as news breaks that His Holiness Pope Francis has passed away following a critical illness. The 88-year-old pontiff, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, died peacefully at the Apostolic Palace just thirty minutes ago, according to an official statement from the Vatican.
The beloved spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics had been battling declining health for months, but the gravity of his condition had been closely guarded by the Vatican. He leaves behind a legacy of humility, social justice advocacy, and efforts to modernize the Catholic Church.
A Final Message to the World
Just hours before his passing, Pope Francis reportedly shared a heartfelt message through his inner circle, which was posted to the Vatican’s official social media channels. It read:
“My children, walk in faith, not in fear. Forgive often, love endlessly, and protect the weak. My journey ends, but the mission of peace and mercy continues with each of you. Pray for me, as I have always prayed for you.”
The message has since gone viral, with millions of reposts and emotional tributes flooding platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram.
Global Reactions Pour In
World leaders, religious figures, and everyday people from around the globe have taken to social media to express their condolences and honor Pope Francis’s legacy:
President Joe Biden: “A man of peace and moral clarity. Rest in peace, Holy Father.”
The Dalai Lama: “A compassionate soul who walked the Earth with love.”
One user wrote: “His words saved my life in a dark time. Thank you, Papa Francisco.”
What Happens Next
The Vatican is expected to initiate the traditional mourning period known as Sede Vacante, during which cardinals will begin preparations for the election of a new pope in the Conclave. Thousands are expected to gather in St. Peter’s Square in the coming days.
As the bells of St. Peter’s Basilica toll in mourning, the world reflects on the loss of a leader who championed inclusion, compassion, and service.
