World leaders and Catholic faithful bade farewell to Pope Francis in a funeral Saturday that highlighted his concern for people on the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�most peripheral of the peripheries바카라 게임 웹사이트� and reflected his wishes to be remembered as a simple pastor. Though presidents and princes attended the Mass in St. Peter바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Square, prisoners and migrants welcomed Francis' coffin at his final resting place in a basilica across town.According to Vatican estimates, some 250,000 people flocked to the funeral Mass at the Vatican and 150,000 more lined the motorcade route through downtown Rome to witness the first funeral procession for a pope in a century. They clapped and cheered 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Papa Francesco바카라 게임 웹사이트� as his simple wooden coffin travelled aboard a modified popemobile to St. Mary Major Basilica, some 3.5-miles away.As bells tolled, the pallbearers brought the coffin past several dozen migrants, prisoners and homeless people holding white roses outside the basilica. Once inside, the pallbearers stopped in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary that Francis loved. Four children deposited the roses at the foot of the altar before cardinals performed the burial rite at his tomb in a nearby niche.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I바카라 게임 웹사이트�m so sorry that we바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve lost him,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Mohammed Abdallah, a 35-year-old migrant from Sudan who was one of the people who welcomed Francis to his final resting place. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Francis helped so many people, refugees like us, and many other people in the world.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Related video below: Homily by Cardinal Giovanni Battista ReEarlier, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re eulogized Francis during the Vatican Mass as a pope of the people, a pastor who knew how to communicate to the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�least among us바카라 게임 웹사이트� with an informal, spontaneous style.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He was a pope among the people, with an open heart towards everyone,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the 91-year-old dean of the College of Cardinals said in a highly personal sermon. He drew applause from the crowd when he recounted Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� constant concern for migrants, exemplified by celebrating Mass at the U.S.-Mexico border and traveling to a refugee camp in Lesbos, Greece, and bringing 12 migrants home with him.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The guiding thread of his mission was also the conviction that the church is a home for all, a home with its doors always open,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Re said, noting that with his travels, the Argentine pontiff reached 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the most peripheral of the peripheries of the world.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Video above: Pope Francis leaves the Vatican for the last timeAn extraordinary meeting about Ukraine on the sidelinesDespite Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� focus on the powerless, the powerful were out in force at his funeral. U.S. President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined Prince William and continental European royals leading more than 160 official delegations. Argentine President Javier Milei had pride of place given Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� nationality, even if the two didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t particularly get along and the pope alienated many in his homeland by never returning there.In an extraordinary development, Trump and Zelenskyy met privately on the sidelines of the funeral. A photo showed the two men sitting alone, facing one another and hunched over on chairs in St. Peter바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Basilica, where Francis often preached the need for a peaceful end to Russia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s war in Ukraine.Tens of thousands flocked before dawn to the VaticanFrancis choreographed the funeral himself when he revised and simplified the Vatican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s rites and rituals last year. His aim was to emphasize the pope바카라 게임 웹사이트�s role as a mere pastor and not 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a powerful man of this world.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It was a reflection of Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� 12-year project to radically reform the papacy, to stress priests as servants and to construct 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a poor church for the poor.바카라 게임 웹사이트� He articulated the mission just days after his 2013 election and it explained the name he chose as pope, honoring St. Francis of Assisi 바카라 게임 웹사이트�who had the heart of the poor of the world,바카라 게임 웹사이트� according to the official decree of the pope's life that was placed in his coffin before it was sealed Friday night.The white facade of St. Peter's glowed pink as the sun rose Saturday and throngs of mourners rushed into the square to get a spot for the Mass. Giant television screens were set up along the surrounding streets for those who couldn't get close.Police helicopters whirled overhead, part of the massive security operation Italian authorities mounted, including more than 2,500 police, 1,500 soldiers and a torpedo ship off the coast, Italian media reported.Many mourners had planned to be in Rome anyway this weekend for the now-postponed Holy Year canonization of the first millennial saint, Carlo Acutis. Groups of scouts and youth church groups nearly outnumbered the gaggles of nuns and seminarians.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He was a very charismatic pope, very human, very kind, above all very human," said Miguel Vaca, a pilgrim from Peru who said he had camped out all night near the piazza. "It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s very emotional to say goodbye to him.바카라 게임 웹사이트�A special relationship with the basilicaFrancis, the first Latin American and first Jesuit pope, died Easter Monday at age 88 after suffering a stroke while recovering from pneumonia.Even before he became pope, Francis had a particular affection for St. Mary Major, home to a Byzantine-style icon of the Madonna, the Salus Populi Romani. He would pray before the icon before and after each of his foreign trips as pope.The popemobile that brought his coffin there was made for one of those trips: Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� 2016 visit to Mexico, and was modified to carry a coffin.Video below: Pope Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� coffin carried into St. Mary Major Basilica, escorted by Swiss GuardsThe choice of the basilica was also symbolically significant given its ties to Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� Jesuit religious order. St. Ignatius Loyola, who founded the Jesuits, celebrated his first Mass in the basilica on Christmas Day in 1538.The basilica is the resting place of seven other popes, but this is the first papal burial outside the Vatican since Pope Leo XIII, who died in 1903 and was entombed in another Roman basilica in 1924.In the player above: Pope Francis has been interred at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Video, courtesy of Vatican Media, shows the pope's coffin at the BasilicaFollowing the funeral, preparations can begin in earnest to launch the centuries-old process of electing a new pope, a conclave that will likely begin in the first week of May. In the interim, the Vatican is being run by a handful of cardinals, key among them Re, who is organizing the secret voting in the Sistine Chapel.German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, who will be participating in the conclave, said the outpouring of support for Francis at his funeral showed the clear need for the next pope to continue his legacy.Crowds waited hours to bid farewell to FrancisOver three days this week, more than 250,000 people stood for hours in line to pay their final respects while Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� body lay in state in St. Peter바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Basilica. The Vatican kept the basilica open through the night to accommodate them, but it wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t enough. When the doors closed to the general public at 7 p.m. Friday, mourners were turned away in droves.By dawn Saturday, they were back, some recalling the words he uttered the very first night of his election and throughout his papacy.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are here to honor him because he always said 바카라 게임 웹사이트�don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t forget to pray for me,바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Nigerian Sister Christiana Neenwata. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�So we are also here to give to him this love that he gave to us.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Argentines bid farewell to Francis at open-air Mass in Buenos AiresThousands of mourners have assembled outside the Buenos Aires cathedral where Pope Francis used to give homilies as archbishop to pay homage to the first Latin American pontiff as the funeral rites were unfolding in Rome.Although the funeral Mass in St. Peter바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Square began around dawn in Buenos Aires, many Argentines woke up to follow the broadcast live. Hours later, a giant procession made its way to the capital바카라 게임 웹사이트�s downtown square of Plaza de Mayo for an open-air Mass. The faithful filled the streets, some weeping openly as the archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Garcia Cuerva, gave his sermon while struggling to hold back his tears.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We cry because we don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want death to win, we cry because our father has died, we cry because we already feel his physical absence in our hearts,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Garcia Cuerva said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�May our tears water our homeland.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Later Saturday, clergy will lead Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� followers on a pilgrimage to key places across Buenos Aires where the late pontiff carried out his pastoral work, from the impoverished shantytowns on the city바카라 게임 웹사이트�s outskirts where he helped build congregations to the public hospitals where he kissed the feet of people with AIDS and mental illnesses.___Associated Press writers Vanessa Gera in Vatican City and Giada Zampano in Rome contributed.
