A tourist from Guadalajara, Mexico, Esquivel Telles, 55, got on a waitlist three months ago, for a group audience with Pope Francis. She'd prayed to him after being diagnosed with leukemia in 2025. Now in remission, she's made pilgrimage to the Vatican, to give thanks.
"It was a dream of mine, to meet him. But now we have to say goodbye," Esquivel Telles says, strolling the cobblestones of St. Peter's Square with a rosary in her hands.
Faithful from around the world are pouring into the Vatican to mourn Francis, who died Monday of a stroke and 'cardiocirculatory collapse.' He was 88. Public viewing of his body will begin Wednesday in St. Peter's Basilica, after his casket is taken by procession from the Vatican hotel where he lived.
