Pope Francis: Archbishop Zimowski showed
"Christian witness"
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
has written to the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Health Care
Workers after the death of the council’s president, Archbishop Zygmunt
Zimowski.
The Archbishop died in the
early hours of Wednesday morning after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Pope Francis wrote Archbishop
Zimowski “lived with a spirit of faith and Christian witness.”
“I wish to express my
spiritual participation in the mourning taking place within the Dicastery, and
while keeping in mind his generous ministry first as the shepherd of the
Diocese of Radom [in Poland], and then in the service of the Holy See, I have
raised fervent prayers in suffrage to the Lord for his soul, entrusting him to
the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Poland,” Pope
Francis said.
The Pope said he asked the
Lord for the “eternal reward promised to the faithful servants of the Gospel,”
and granted upon the officials and employees of the Pontifical Council his
Apostolic Blessing.
