The legacy of Pope Francis lives on, especially in the hearts of the people (where real honoring should live):
Sisters and brothers, especially those of you experiencing pain and sorrow, your silent cry has been heard and your tears have been counted; not one of them has been lost!...

That hope is not an evasion, but a challenge; it does not delude, but empowers us.
