Artist's commentary
Thank you, Pope Francis. Through your example, I have learned to be more humble, to judge less, and to trust more. Early in my conversion, I was blinded by pride and sought perfection in everything. I was overly critical of you, but years later, I realize you were right all along. We are nothing without God. The Lord loves us despite our flaws, and only He can bring order to our chaos. You have truly honored your namesake, Saint Francis of Assisi, leading the Church closer to the love and mercy of God through your example.
Rest in peace! 🙏🏻
