Pope Francis’ last written message was posted on X (former Twitter) at 8:15 am last Sunday (20), just under 24 hours before the confirmation of his death.
In the publication, made in the official profile of the Pope in Portuguese, Francisco commented on Easter. See below:
Christ rose! In this announcement all the sense of our existence, which was not made for death, but for life. #Easter https://t.co/ci3gk4crff

The Pope died on the morning of Monday (21). His death was announced by Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Vatican’s Camerlengo. “Dear brothers and sisters, it is with deep sadness that I communicate the death of our holy Father Francis,” the statement said.
The last public appearance of the Pontiff was last Sunday, when he made a brief appearance in the Vatican to give the blessing “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and the world) and asked for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. See how it was.
Francisco wished a happy Easter for the faithful present and asked an advisor to read the message. In the text, the pontiff said the situation in Gaza was “dramatic and deplorable.” The Pope also asked the Palestinian militant group Hamas to release the remaining hostages and condemned what he called a “worrying” trend of anti -Semitism in the world.
The Pontificate of Francis lasted just over 12 years. Several world leaders reacted to the death of the Catholic leader. See the positions.
