Crowds came out in huge numbers to bid farewell to their beloved pastor.
A man not without controversy, even in death. In the end, a holy priest, a beloved pastor of souls.
Watch below the final commendation of the Archbishop-emeritus of Milan, Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, SJ:
In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.
