The basilica had remained open continuously from Wednesday morning until 5:30 am on Thursday. Just half an hour later, at 6 am, the queue resumed as crowds once again began gathering in the cool Roman dawn, hoping to pay their last respects to the late pontiff. Among the early arrivals were Maria Luisa and Stefania, a mother and daughter from Sicily. Stefania now lives in Rome, and her mother had come to the capital for her granddaughter\u2019s baptism this Saturday. But when they heard the news of Pope Francis\u2019 death, their plans changed instantly. \u201cWe didn\u2019t even think twice,\u201d they said. \u201cWe knew we had to try and see him one last time.\u201d They had been there before \u2014 when Pope John Paul II died, they joined a group of pilgrims from Sicily. Back then, it took them 16 hours to see his body. Nearby, Anthony, a Canadian on his honeymoon, stood quietly in line with his wife. Born into a Catholic family of Italian immigrants who moved to Canada in the 1950s, Anthony didn\u2019t hesitate when he heard the news. \u201cWe\u2019re only in Rome from Wednesday to Friday. But we knew this was something we couldn\u2019t miss,\u201d he told Euronews. For Anastasius, a Trappist monk from Hong Kong now studying in Rome, the moment was deeply spiritual. \u201cFirst of all, I want to thank him for all his pastoral services to the Church over the past 12 years. I\u2019m sure he has done a wonderful job for the people of God. And I hope the direction he has given to the Church will continue,\u201d Anastasius said. By 8:15 am, an hour and 45 minutes after the new queue had started, those waiting had reached the security checks under the iconic colonnade of St.Peter\u2019s Square. Journalists were not allowed to enter with cameras, but mobile phones were permitted. As the line advanced, workers were already placing rows of chairs in the square, preparing for Saturday\u2019s funeral at 10 am. Crossing the Holy Door to see Pope Francis\u2019s bodyCrossing the Holy Door in this context felt like a sacred passage for many. Most were silent. Those who spoke whispered reflections about Pope Francis \u2014 or quietly speculated about who might succeed him. Inside, the crowd moved slowly. Each person stopped for a few moments before the Pope\u2019s body, lying in repose, then exited in silence through a side aisle. Adora and Erma, two women from the Philippines who now work in Rome, woke up at 4 am to be among the first in line. \u201cWe work today and we\u2019re tired,\u201d they said, \u201cbut we\u2019re happy and sad at the same time.\u201d ADVERTISEMENTFather Joseph described the moment with emotion. \u201cI came to Rome in 2015, and since then, Pope Francis is the only pope I\u2019ve known,” he told Euronews. “Obviously, Pope Benedict was already retired. He accompanied my formation.” “When I heard of his death, it was shocking \u2014 nobody expected it. Seeing his body was surreal. He looked so different. But I\u2019m grateful to have come.\u201d As the day goes on, thousands continue to arrive. The line shows no signs of shrinking. And inside the Basilica, the silence speaks volumes of love, respect, and the deep impression Pope Francis has left on the Catholic faithful. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
