STORYLINE:
Hundreds of Catholic faithfuls and Pope Francis devotees gathered in prayer and mourning at the Lisbon Cathedral during a special mass.
The service was led by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon who called the late pontiff "a lighthouse for the Church and the world."
The Pope visited Portugal on two separate occasions, most recently in 2023 for World Youth Day. The message of a Church for all that echoed at the time during his famous "todos, todos, todos" speech is still remembered today among many young Catholics.
Filipa Sousa, a 28-year-old volunteer from those summer days in Lisbon says this is the Pope greatest legacy.
"I think this was the revolution he has left us, specially during World Youth Day, this Church for all, like him, a Pope of all and for all.”
Pope Francis died Monday at age 88. The Vatican said Francis suffered a stroke which led to a coma and his heart to fail, as he recovered from a five-week hospitalization for double pneumonia.
History’s first Latin American pontiff charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor but alienated many conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change.
