00:00Almost three years ago, precisely on June 29, 2022, Pope Francis had made arrangements for
00:07the cost of his own burial. This was revealed some hours ago by the Vatican, as contained in
00:13Pope Francis' written funeral wish and a plan of his final resting place and how activities should
00:18be conducted during his burial ceremony, this, as the Vatican gave an update that the Pope died
00:24on Monday morning after suffering stroke and kidney failure. The official certification on Pope
00:30Francis' death came from Professor Andrea Arcangeli, the director of the Directorate of Health and
00:36Hygiene of the Vatican City-State, according to Vatican News, an official publication of the
00:41Vatican. Francis had a prior history of acute respiratory failure caused by antimicrobial
00:48bilateral pneumonia, multiple bronchiectases, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, the medical
00:54report stated. The Pope's death was confirmed using electrocardiographic thanatography, Vatican News
01:01reported. Pope Francis, according to his spiritual testament as published by the Vatican News media,
01:08indicated that his tomb should be erected at the Basilica of St. Mary Major. In quote, Pope Francis
01:15said, as I sense the approaching twilight of my earthly life, and with firm hope in eternal life,
01:21I wish to set out my final wishes solely regarding the place of my burial. Throughout my life, and
01:28during my ministry as a priest and bishop, I have always entrusted myself to the Mother of our Lord,
01:34the Blessed Virgin Mary. For this reason, I ask that my mortal remains rest, awaiting the day of the
01:40resurrection, in the papal Basilica of St. Mary Major. I wish my final earthly journey to end precisely in
01:48this ancient Marian sanctuary, where I would always stop to pray at the beginning and end of every
01:53apostolic journey, confidently entrusting my intentions to the Immaculate Mother, and giving
01:59thanks for her gentle and maternal care. I ask that my tomb be prepared in the burial niche in the side
02:05aisle between the Pauline Chapel, chapel of the Salus Populi Romani, and the Sforza Chapel of the
02:11Basilica, as shown in the attached plan. The tomb should be in the ground, simple, without particular
02:17ornamentation, bearing only the inscription, Franciscus. The cost of preparing the burial will be covered by
02:25a sum provided by a benefactor, which I have arranged to be transferred to the papal Basilica of
02:30St. Mary Major. I have given the necessary instructions regarding this to Cardinal Rolandes
02:36Macracus, extraordinary Commissioner of the Liberian Basilica. May the Lord grant a fitting reward to all
02:43those who have loved me and who continue to pray for me. The suffering that has marked the final part of
02:49my life, I offer to the Lord, for peace in the world and for fraternity among peoples, Pope Francis
02:55stated on the 29th of June 2022. We have reported that the Camelingo of the Apostolic Chamber,
03:02Cardinal Kevin Farrell, at about 9.45 am on Monday announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa
03:10Santa Marta, hours after Pope Francis had called for an end to wars in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Congo,
03:17Yemen and other humanitarian crises in Myanmar, South Sudan, in the Sahel, the Horn of Africa,
03:24the Great Lakes, Lebanon, Syria, and thus, begging political leaders not to yield to fear but use
03:31the state resources under their custody to fight and eradicate hunger and promote development among
03:36the people, which, the Pope said, are weapons of peace, adding that, there can't be peace without
03:42the freedom of religion, expression, thoughts and respect for one another views, just as the Pope on
03:48Sunday at around 11.30 am, less than 20 hours to his death, met in person with the Vice President
03:55of United States, James David Vance after the Pope had called on President Donald Trump to end his
04:02anti-immigrant policy, asking Catholics in America to reject the anti-immigrant narratives canvassed by
04:09the U.S. government led by President Donald Trump. Earlier this month, we have reported that the head of
04:15the Catholic Church, Pope Francis on Sunday surprised pilgrims at the St. Peter's Square two weeks after
04:22leaving hospital when he made first public appearance at the end of the Mass for the Jubilee of the sick and
04:27healthcare workers, looking apparently more healthier and stronger than he was in late March, 2025 when he
04:34made public appearance through the window of Gemini Hospital in Rome where he has been under medical care
04:40since February 14th, he was hospitalized for pneumonia. We have reported that the Vatican says
04:46Pope Francis is still experiencing complex or chronic health conditions that affect multiple
04:52parts of his body systems but the head of the Catholic Church is resting calmly since on Thursday,
04:58adding that, the prognosis or the likely outcome or the forecasted outcome of the current health
05:03conditions of the Pope is still guarded, this, as local media had earlier reported that the Pope
05:09confided on some of his aides that he may not make it alive with reports of some Catholic officials
05:15already rehearsing for his funeral. The Pope was admitted to Rome's Gemini Hospital on Friday, February 14th,
05:22following a bout of bronchitis, with his doctors later diagnosing bilateral pneumonia. We have reported
05:28that despite the medical condition that he's under the high flow of oxygen in the hospital over double
05:34pneumonia, Pope Francis on Sunday, on the eve of the third year anniversary of the war in Ukraine launched
05:41by President Vladimir Putin-led Russia government, called on everyone in the world to remember victims
05:47of the war in Ukraine, describing the war which started on February 24th, 2022 as painful, shameful for all
05:55humanity. We had also reported that the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis is not out of danger
06:02and his health worsened on Saturday evening, says Vatican. The Pope's funeral is allegedly being rehearsed
06:08after the 88-year-old warned he may not survive pneumonia. The Swiss guard protecting the Pope, 88,
06:16is rehearsing his funeral, with members under a curfew as they are, preparing for the pontiff's death,
06:21Swiss newspaper blick claims.
