President Nayib Bukele and First Lady Gabriela de Bukele extended their heartfelt condolences following the passing of Pope Francis, joining millions of Catholics around the world in mourning the loss of a spiritual leader whose life inspired faith and compassion.
“We express our most sincere condolences to the Catholic people and to all the faithful who mourn his departure today,” the President stated. “We lift our prayers for his eternal rest and for comfort to those who loved him and accompanied him in life.”
In their message of solidarity, they also dedicated a Bible verse in honor of the late Pontiff: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day.” – 2 Timothy 4:7-8.
