Pope Francis: An anonymous benefactor will cover the costs of the ceremony, I want a tomb without decorations...
Pope Francis' will revealed.
He passed away today at the age of 88, and at 8:00 p.m. his will was opened. He requested to be buried in the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. He also requested an unadorned grave.
" Feeling that the end of my earthly life is approaching and with firm hope in eternal life, I wish to express my will only regarding the place of my burial. I have always entrusted my life and my priestly and episcopal ministry to the Mother of our Lord, Mary."
I wish that my last earthly journey will end precisely in the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, where I went for prayer at the beginning and end of each Apostolic Journey, to entrust my intentions to the Immaculate Mother and to thank her for her wise and maternal care. I request that my tomb be prepared in the niche of the side nave between the Cappella Paolina and the Cappella Sforza of the aforementioned Papal Basilica as indicated in the attached document. The tomb should be on the ground, simple, without special decoration and with the sole inscription: Franciscus. The expenses for preparing my burial, to be transferred to the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, will be covered by a benefactor, a process for which I have given the appropriate instructions to Monsignor Rolandas Makrickas, Extraordinary Commissioner of the Liberian Chapter. "May God grant the deserved reward to those who have loved me and will continue to pray for me. The sufferings that became present in the last part of my life I offered to God for peace in the world and brotherhood among peoples ," the will states.
At the same time, the cause of the Pope's death was also revealed. According to the forensic examination, Pope Francis died of a stroke. The stroke led to a coma and irreversible heart failure, the Vatican says.
The report comes just over 12 hours after the Pope's death was first announced. Francis suffered from a chronic lung disease and had part of one of his lungs removed when he was young.
Health issues plagued him during the last years of his life, and he was admitted to Gemelli Hospital on February 14 for a respiratory crisis that developed into double pneumonia.
This led to a 38-day hospital stay, the longest of his papacy.
However, he came out on Easter Sunday, the day before his death, to bless thousands of people in St. Peter's Square.
