St Peter’s reopens to faithful farewelling Pope

St. Peter’s Basilica has reopened its doors this morning to welcome worshippers from all corners of the globe who are gathering to pay their final respects to the beloved Pope Francis.

With nearly 50,000 individuals flocking to the basilica to honor the late pontiff, Vatican media reports that Pope Francis, who has been lying in state since Wednesday, will be laid to rest in a funeral ceremony on Saturday.

Due to the overwhelming turnout, the basilica, originally scheduled to close at midnight, remained open until 5:30 am, reopening again at 7 am to accommodate the crowds.

The body of the 88-year-old pope, who passed away on Monday after suffering a stroke, was solemnly brought to St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday.

Pope Francis, known for his progressive reforms and dedication to the marginalized, had a tumultuous 12-year reign, often clashing with traditionalists but always advocating for the less fortunate.

As preparations for the funeral ceremony on Saturday continue, more than 170 delegations, including world leaders, are expected to gather in St. Peter’s Square, with millions around the world tuning in to watch the event.

“A significant chapter in the history of the Church has come to a close,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller shared in an interview with Italian daily la Repubblica, emphasizing the unanimous acclaim for Pope Francis’ efforts in supporting migrants and the impoverished.

Cardinal Muller, a conservative figure and one of the 133 cardinals tasked with electing the Church’s 267th pontiff next month, highlighted the importance of Pope Francis’ legacy and the impact of his work on society.
