Pope Francis’ Final Will in His Last Funeral Rite

The Vatican, while holding the final funeral rite for Pope Francis, revealed his last will concerning his special vehicle.

Last Sunday, May 4th, marked the ninth and final day of the funeral ceremony for Pope Francis at St. Peter’s Basilica. After conducting the Last Supper mass, cardinals prepared for a closed-door meeting scheduled for Wednesday to elect the next pope.

The Vatican also revealed in the final funeral rite for the pope his last will regarding his special vehicle (the Popemobile), requesting that it be converted into a mobile clinic to provide humanitarian aid to children in Gaza. Before his death, the pope had made a will stating that he wished for this vehicle to be transformed into a mobile clinic for Gaza’s children.

According to the pope’s will, following his death, the vehicle was equipped with medical equipment, vaccine kits, and medical facilities, and will now be dispatched by doctors to deprived areas of Gaza to provide aid to children. The preparation of this vehicle was carried out by a charitable organization, symbolizing the pope’s support for war-affected children and his solidarity with them. The goal of this project, in addition to providing medical services, is to send a message to the entire world not to forget the children of Gaza.

The Vatican said in this regard: “This action was Pope Francis’ final wish for the people with whom he had consistently expressed solidarity throughout his papacy, particularly in the final years of his life. In the final months of his life, Pope Francis entrusted this mission to a charitable organization as a response to the profound humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where nearly one million children have been displaced.

The pope always emphasized that children are not numbers. They have faces, names, and stories, and each one of them is sacred. Now his belief has been put into action. In the midst of a devastating war, destroyed infrastructure, a collapsed health system, and limited access to education, children are the primary victims of this crisis. Facing malnutrition, infectious diseases, and preventable conditions that threaten their lives.”
