đź’™ A Mystical Revelation: The Virgin Mary Appeared to Pope Francis Before His Death
St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome — the place chosen by Our Lady for Pope Francis’ final rest.
🙏 A Heavenly Visit Few Have Heard About
In a revelation almost hidden from the world, Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, a Lithuanian prelate and caretaker of the St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome, recently shared a private vision experienced by Pope Francis nearly a year before his death.
At 3:00 PM in Santa Marta, Pope Francis confided in Cardinal Makrickas:
“Mary told me: prepare your tomb. I am very glad that Mary did not forget me.”
This divine encounter was never broadcast widely. But it is one of the most profound and touching glimpses into the mystical heart of Pope Francis — a man often misunderstood by the world, but deeply loved by Our Lady.
🌹 A Pope Hidden in Humility

Pope Francis, moved by this vision, chose not to be buried in a grand chapel, but in a simple space between two chapels at the Basilica. He insisted that attention remain on Our Lady, not himself.
His tomb bears a single inscription:
Franciscus
(His papal cross)
(A stone from his grandparents’ homeland)
His final resting place lies between the Chapel of Salus Populi Romani and the Chapel of Our Lady of Peace, under the gaze of the very icon he venerated throughout his papacy.
✨ The Vision that Transformed a Papacy
The Blessed Virgin’s request came to Pope Francis on May 28 — nearly a full 11 months before his passing. He spent that year traveling, blessing millions, including non-Catholics, and spreading Our Lady’s love. Despite his failing health, he continued his apostolic mission with joy and sacrifice.
“He was the people’s Pope — a father to a world starved of true fatherhood.”
đź’” Misunderstood, But Loved By Heaven
While many criticized or misunderstood Pope Francis during his pontificate, this quiet Marian apparition vindicates his holiness and interior life.
“God sees the heart — and Our Lady confirmed what only Heaven could see.”
In a moving testimony, one woman who once struggled with doubts said:
“I prayed to the Holy Spirit… and the next day, I loved the Pope again.”
This is the power of humility and the Holy Spirit. We do not need to understand everything — we need only to trust and pray.
🌍 A Worldwide Rosary and a Marian Pope
On October 7, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Pope Francis encouraged the faithful to pray the Rosary at 7 PM — a global Rosary movement. Yet many Catholic media outlets failed to promote it.
Why?
Perhaps, like many saints, Pope Francis was only truly understood after death.
đź’ˇ Final Thoughts: Judge Not, Love More
“Mother of the Church” — Our refuge in times of division.
This story is more than an anecdote — it’s a call to:
Reflect on our judgmental attitudes
Offer sacrifices for those we criticize
Return to the sacraments
See the Church and its leaders as God sees them
“When you see someone fall, don’t criticize — sacrifice. Skip that dessert, turn off your phone, and offer it up in love.”
đź’¬ Spread the Word: Our Lady Remembered Him
Let the world know: Pope Francis was remembered by Mary.
She came to prepare him for Heaven — and to remind us that humility, not popularity, is the path to holiness.
“She is our refuge and our mother.”
Let’s follow him — and her — into the heart of Jesus.
