Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent heartfelt condolences on the passing of Pope Francis. The Pope died on Monday at the age of 88, as confirmed by the Vatican.
King Salman and Prince Mohammed expressed deep sorrow and shared their sympathy with the people of the Vatican. Their messages conveyed respect for Pope Francis’s leadership and his impact on the global community. Both leaders highlighted his contributions to peace, unity, and interfaith dialogue.
Pope Francis had suffered from severe health issues earlier this year, including a five-week hospitalization for double pneumonia. Despite his health crisis, the Pope showed remarkable resilience, recovering from his illness and being discharged last month. He continued his recovery at his residence, Casa Santa Marta, within the Vatican.
The passing of Pope Francis marks the end of an era. His leadership and efforts in promoting compassion and peace resonated worldwide. Saudi Arabia’s leaders have extended their condolences to the Vatican and all those who mourn his loss.
This moment of reflection also underscores the importance of fostering unity and understanding across different faiths. Pope Francis’s legacy will continue to inspire dialogue and cooperation between cultures and religions.
