“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”
In his homily, the Pope said Jesus' final words summed up the Lord's entire life,"a ceaseless self-entrustment into the hands of His Father." He said this shows the great"closeness of God," who entrusts Himself into the"frail hands of his disciples," so they can care for His people in loving service and sacrifice.Continuing to describe the characteristics of a pastor who strives to follow the Lord, the Pope noted that"is required, one that is"silently shaped and refined amid the challenges and resistance that every pastor must face.
The Pope then said that as we strive to follow the Lord as an ecclesial community, we too"want to follow in His steps and to commend our brother into the hands of the Father... may those merciful hands find his lamp alight with the oil of the Gospel that he spread and testified to for his entire life.
