Farewell, Friend

Today, our entire Catholic grade school prayed the Rosary for our departing Pontiff. At 2:00 EST, which is Roman time 8:00pm, we tolled a bell and said a final prayer for him and for the Sacred College. I was holding the photo of him that hung in the foyer, and was about to turn and place it back on its hook, when I realized that it was proper to leave the wall empty. The principal almost cried.
