“Love conquers death. In love, God will gather us together with our loved ones. And, if we journey together in charity, our very lives become a prayer rising up to God, uniting us with the departed, drawing us closer to them as we await to meet them again in the joy of eternal life. Let us entrust ourselves to the hope that does not disappoint. Let us fix our gaze upon the Risen Christ and think of our departed loved ones as enfolded in his light.”
-Pope Leo XIV

“El amor vence a la muerte. En el amor, Dios nos reunirá con nuestros seres queridos. Y, si caminamos juntos en la caridad, nuestra propia vida se convierte en una oración que se eleva a Dios, uniéndonos con los difuntos, acercándonos a ellos mientras esperamos reencontrarnos en la alegría de la vida eterna. Confiemos en la esperanza que nunca defrauda. Fijemos nuestra mirada en Cristo Resucitado y pensemos en nuestros seres queridos que han partido, envueltos en su luz.”

—Papa León XIV
