dc.description.abstract	This press statement by the Jesuits of the Southern Africa Province expresses profound sorrow at the passing of Pope Francis, the first Jesuit Pope and a spiritual father to millions. Reflecting on his legacy of humility, justice, and care for the marginalised, the statement honours his visit to Mozambique in 2019 and highlights the enduring inspiration drawn from his encyclicals Evangelii Gaudium, Laudato Si’, and Fratelli Tutti. As the Universal Church mourns, the Jesuits recommit to his vision of a reconciled, inclusive, and merciful Church.	en
