CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis paid tribute to the “faith and priestly zeal” of Cardinal Antonios Naguib, who died on March 28 at the age of 87, and was Patriarch of the Coptic Catholic Church from 2006 to 2013.
Recalling that the cardinal’s motto was “Veritas-Caritas,” Pope Francis said that he made the formation of priests “his first priority.” The Pontiff prayed that through the Virgin Mary’s intercession, God will “welcome his faithful servant with his angels and saints into the heavenly Jerusalem.”
