Why did Pope Francis St. Mary Major Basilica select his last rest area? (Trying with Timmerie)

While the church looks at Rome with all the sums around the next conclave, Timmmerie explained Why Pope Francis St. Mary Major in Rome selected his last rest area.

🕊️ The last wish of a Pope: rest next to Mary

Before his death, Pope Francis made a warm (and very Franziskus art) declaration:

He wants to be buried alongside the icon of our dear wife. Salus Populi Romani: “Protective of the Roman people ”in the St. Mary Major Basilica.

He said it beautiful and humble:

“The sunset of my earthly life is approaching … I always entrusted my life and priestly service to the mother of our Lord … I wish my last earthly journey closes in this old Marian sanctuary.”

❤️ that's right … the Pope turned to Our wife Before and after every apostolic journey. He would literally go Directly to her With his joys, stresses, decisions and thanks.

🎨 So … what is so special about this icon?

🖌️ The icon is traditionally attributed to St. Lukas itself: Yes, The St. Lukas.

📜 He probably paints it first -hand, based on what he learned directly from Mary. Think about: The proclamation, the crib … all these unique Marian moments in Luke Gospel.

🏛️ This symbol is one Huge 5 feet big, 3+ foot wide Image of Maria and Jesus and itLook different from most:

-The Christ Child looks at MariaNot we.

-Mary is, however, look at usas if you should say:
“I got you. Come to me.”

✝️ Miracles, plague and the eternal city

This icon is BAttle-tested:

-Es was worn in processions during the Plague in the 6th and 14th centuries;Both times after being brought through Rome, The plagues stopped.

-Ier Pope Gregor the big helm personal To welcome it when it arrived in Rome 590 AD

-Da it was anchored in St. Mary Major, one of the oldest Marian churches in the world.

Why this place was important to Francis

For Pope Francis that was deeply personally:

– He had visited the icon before and after almost every trip during his papacy.

-had been seen there alone, especially in difficult decisions.

-The chosen this place Because the funeral is one way to say:

“I would like to be laid exactly where I spent my life to spend my trust at the feet of the Mother of God.”

Go to Mama Mary

Timmerie includes everything with a gentle but powerful impetus:

-Jesus gave us his mother.

-Pope Francis reminded us: 💬 “Contact Mary. Trust her.
