Pope Francis is dead. Cardinal Konrad Krajewski about the last moments and death of the Pope

Nobody could direct such farewells to the world or imagine – says Franciszek in an interview with TVN24 Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almster. – You can see that he was very tired, that he was suffering, that they were the last moments. But he was still touching people, he blessed them. Already more eyes than with hands. He blessed them with their heart. And then he disappeared – he added.

Papal Jałmużnik Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who is the prefect of the dicasteries for the ministry of mercy, saying TVN24 about the death of Francis, assessed that “such a farewell to the world could no one could direct or imagine.”

– The Holy Father from the balcony of the Basilica of Saint Peter blessed the people present in St. Peter's Square, as well as everyone in the world. Urbi et orbi – the city and the world – he gave blessing and said only one word: Buona Pasqua. This means that we celebrate the resurrection of Christ – mentioned the priest of Francis from the Easter message.

“He already knows everything”

As added by papal almond, then the Holy Father “got into the papal car – white, like him – and greeted everyone in the square.” – You can see that he was very tired, that he was suffering, that they were the last moments. But he was still touching people, he blessed them. He blessed them with his hands and heart with their hearts. And then he disappeared – he said.

– But the Pope similarly started the pontificate 12 years ago. From the same balcony, he asked people present in St. Peter's Square to bless him. And as if with the power of this blessing for 12 years he served the most needy. And similarly ended this pontificate with people – Cardinal Krajewski continued.

He pointed out that “his last (pope – ed.) The meeting was a blessing and touching people gathered in St. Peter's Square.” – And then he went away to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. He already knows everything. And we still have to wait – added Cardinal Krajewski.
