Great leader

It is sad to know that Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88. He was a great religious leader of his time. I have always found him very sensitive towards humanity. He was an inspiration for the entire world. He was loved by everyone, be it global leaders or the common people. That’s why people would call him People’s Pope. He spoke a lot for common people. He would talk about compassion, humanity and service. He was one of the few leaders who never hesitated to think loudly. He always said what he felt was right. He never tried to please people.

The world would pay attention to his words. We have lost a guardian in him. I remember my mom had been to Vatican City a few years ago and she had the chance to see him. She was happy to be there. She described her experience heavenly. She wanted to go again but her health did not permit. Everybody praised Pope Francis for his wise leadership. Though we know he was a religious leader he moved the world with his wise and compassionate leadership style. He brought many positive changes during his time at Vatican City.
