Remembering Pope Francis

Pope Francis’s papal motto was “Miserando atque eligendo,” which translates to “by having mercy and by choosing”. This phrase is taken from a homily by Saint Bede, an eighth-century Christian writer, and it refers to God’s mercy in calling Saint Matthew to be his disciple. The motto reflects a central theme of Pope Francis’s papacy, emphasizing God’s mercy and its relevance in addressing the challenges of the modern world.
