CWN Editor's Note: Following an annual tradition for the month of November, Pope Francis presided at a Mass for the bishops who have died in the past year.
In his homily the Pontiff recalled the prayer of the good thief at the Crucifixion: “Jesus, remember me when You come into your kingdom.”
More than 120 bishops, including seven cardinals, died during the past year.
