The nun who broke protocol at Pope Francis’ coffin

Living in a modest caravan outside Rome, she visited him weekly, sometimes bringing guests from the streets, always welcomed without judgment. Though many assumed she broke protocol, the Vatican had quietly granted her special permission — a rare gesture for a rare connection. Her final visit wasn’t routine. It was a farewell grounded in love, not ceremony. And as her quiet goodbye circulates the world, it reminds us that sometimes, the most powerful farewells are felt, not spoken.
