#PopeFrancis spoke often of two occasions when #nurses saved his life and his message to ICN Congress in ‘21 acknowledged the sacrifice of nurses during the pandemic and the need to address shortages. He was a Pope who both understood and stood with nurses. Thank u and RIP.

In his 2020 message to #nurses #PopeFrancis referred to them as “guardians of life” and connected caring for each other with caring for the planet “our common home”. Care and compassion have never been more needed or important to our world. RIP vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2…
