Rome, 21 April (LaPresse) – ‘It is with deep sorrow and solemnity that I join in prayer to accompany Pope Francis on his journey back to the House of the Father. I am grateful for having had the privilege of knowing him and meeting him on many occasions, the last of which was on 24 December last year for the opening ceremony of the Holy Door in St. Peter's Basilica. His passing during this Easter season, and especially in this Jubilee Year of Hope, inspires prayer and good wishes as we remember and effectively live his spiritual legacy. With devotion.’ This is the personal message that John Elkann sent today to the Holy See in relation to the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
