In memory of the beautiful Pope Francis. You have touched my heart. In your papacy, the Catholic church has become relevant to my life again, at 65 years of age. Your message & actions have inspired me again & again.
Rest in peace, Francis. Thank you.
Romie Cullen, Co Clare
Am so sad that Pope Francis has passed away. My late Dad, John and I saw him when he was in Dublin...a lovely, warm, humble Pope. Dad and I were thrilled to see Pope Francis pass by in his car.
Rest in peace Pope Francis, truly a Pope of the people.
From Grainne Malone, Ashtown, Dublin 15.

May Pope Francis rest in peace.
I saw him twice in Dublin in 2018.In Phoenix Park where he celebrated Mass. And in Croke Park at the Meeting of the Families concert in Croke Park. He followed the teachings of Christ, caring for the poor, the outcasts and the prisoners.
And performed his duties to the end.
With deepest sympathy

Thanks be to God for your life, Pope Francis.
Your simplicity, your care for Justice, your attention to the poor,
your love of Creation have been an inspiration.
Your going from us is such a huge loss.May we not forget your example,
and may you now rest in peace in 'the House of the Father'.

Giving thanks for the life and guidance of Pope Francis who presented the teachings and life of the Church in how he lived. Can't imagine not having this beacon of the Spirit to look to in the most local, global, personal and societal dilemmas of our age. He helped make the Communications & Media platforms communities of Life & Wisdom for all who connected with him - those of every faith & none. May the peace & joy & rest of Heaven be his.

My deepest condolences to Pope Francis cousin Mrs Delia Gai living in Italy and all the family members and relatives of the Bergoglio's family. We have lost not only a Pope but a friend, a father, a brother, a guide and more than all a living witness of the face of Jesus Christ in our mist. May he rest in peace and protect us from Heaven. Thank you God for having grant us with the grace of his presence and ministry. Amen

A humble, beautiful human. He gave a voice to those who were ignored and shunned. We should all try to follow his example in our daily lives. He will be much missed, but leaves a wonderful legacy.
