黑料天堂

The 黑料天堂 community joins Catholics around the world in mourning the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the Holy See, the Society of Jesus鈥攖he religious order he entered in 1958鈥攁nd the global Catholic Church.

As a Catholic university founded and sponsored by the Congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence, 黑料天堂 is deeply rooted in the values of compassion, justice, peace, and inclusivity. Pope Francis exemplified these values through his humble leadership, his tireless advocacy for the poor and marginalized, and his call to care for creation as a sacred responsibility. He called on Catholic universities in particular 鈥榯o be an expression of the love that inspires every activity of the Church, namely, God鈥檚 love for the human person.鈥� This idea underlies our university motto,聽ad lucem per amorem,聽鈥渢o light through love.鈥�

Through his life and writings鈥攊ncluding聽Laudato Si鈥�, which called the world to ecological conversion, and聽Fratelli Tutti, which envisioned a more fraternal and unified humanity鈥擯ope Francis challenged us to widen our circle of care. His voice was often a light for the unheard and unseen.

Rooted in Providence and called to educate global citizens, 黑料天堂 is especially grateful for the Holy Father鈥檚 emphasis on dialogue, dignity, and the Gospel鈥檚 call to service.

We invite the 黑料天堂 community to come together in prayer for a Mass of Remembrance on Friday, April 25 at noon in Magdalen Chapel. Together, we will honor Pope Francis鈥檚 life and legacy, and renew our own commitment to the values he lived so fully.

May his soul rest in peace.
