Vatican City, 30 July 2014 (VIS) –
This morning Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of
Cardinals, presided at the funeral of Cardinal Francesco Marchisano,
archpriest emeritus of St. Peter's Basilica, who died on Sunday 27
July at the age of 85. In his homily, Cardinal Sodano recalled the
late prelate's 62 years of service to the Church, praising his
methodical and silent approach. “A style that recalls that of the
bees depicted on Pope Urban VIII's coat of arms, in memory of his
work”.
He also commented on Cardinal
Marchisano's works of charity, in particular his thirty years of work
at the Institute for the Deaf-Mute, and thanked the Lord “for the
gift He has given to the Church, for this generous ministry”.
