<p>DO YOU KNOW WHY THE BOOK OF THE GOSPEL IS PLACED ON POPE FRANCIS' COFFIN?</p><p><span>__________</span></p><p>You see that Book of the Gospel placed on the coffin of Pope Francis, it isn’t just a symbol, it is a message.</p><p>That book is the Book of the Gospels, the Word of Life that guided him every day. It represents how he lived: carrying the Gospel close to his heart, preaching it with his words, and even more with his life.</p><p>As it rests on his coffin, it is as if the Church is saying: “Here lies a man who lived and breathed the Good News. Now the Word he loved carries him home.”&nbsp;</p><p>It is not just a tribute; it is a final mission, the Gospel standing watch, testifying that he fought the good fight, kept the faith, and now receives the crown of eternal life.</p><p>A silent, powerful reminder for us all: Live the Gospel so deeply that when you die, it speaks louder than any eulogy ever could.</p>
