This Advent, as a staff, we spent time together reading Pope Francis’ final encyclical, Dilexit Nos (“He Loved Us”). At the time, Pope Francis was alive and well. We had no idea that just months later, his earthly journey would come to an end.
In Dilexit Nos, Pope Francis reflected on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Heart that beats with boundless divine love, and that invites us to model our own human love after His.
A Shepherd After Christ’s Own Heart
Pope Francis truly lived as a good shepherd. He did not remain distant from the flock. He rolled up his sleeves, entered into the messiness of human life, and sought out the lost, the broken, and the forgotten.
A Legacy of Love
Dilexit Nos, “He loved us,” was not just the title of his encyclical. It was the summary of his life.
We’ve created a special playlist to pray for the repose of the soul of our dear Holy Father Francis, listen to it on Tabella now.
