The Vatican announced that Pope Francis died at the age of 88 on Monday morning. Here are some of the pope's most memorable quotes.
Pope Francis often spoke of acceptance and compassion towards fellow man and worked to make the church a more welcoming place to women and the LGBTQ+ community.
On Easter, during his last public appearance, the pope called for peace and asked world leaders "not to yield to the logic of fear."
Powerful words on immigration
During his time at the Vatican, Pope Francis also advocated for the rights of immigrants.
"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help," he told a meeting of German faithful at the Vatican in October 2016.
