May visiting the cemetery invite us all to remember and to wait in hope. For we are not enclosed in the past or in sentimental tears of nostalgia. Neither are we sealed within the present, as in a tomb. May the familiar voice of Jesus reach everyone, because it is the only one that comes from the future. He calls us by name and prepares a place for us.

Love and unity: these are the two dimensions of the mission entrusted to Peter by Jesus. Peter can carry out this task only because his own life was touched by the infinite and unconditional love of God, even in the hour of his failure and denial.

I think the coolest part about Pope Francis’ tomb is that it’s in between two confessionals. The pope of mercy is there interceding for penitents.
