[Pope Francis has left] an immense legacy, placing the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the centre of the Church. [...] I read in his will that he offered all his sufferings to the Lord for peace. [...] [His successor] inherits a Church within which Pope Francis had initiated and opened up various processes, processes that deserve to be deepened and further accompanied. This was one of the pillars of Pope Francis' teaching: rather than occupying spaces, initiate processes. He initiated so many, and we hope that his successor will be able to accompany these processes for the missionary reform of the Church. [...] History teaches us that any prediction [about the duration of the conclave] is likely to be wrong because, in reality, it is the Holy Spirit who guides the Church; it is the Holy Spirit who guides the conclave. Therefore, the Holy Spirit will dictate the timing, and we entrust ourselves to Him.

Additional quotes by Baldassare Reina

[With regard to the vote on Pius XII's Salus Populi Romani and the liberation of Rome from Nazi-Fascist oppression (4 June 1944)] The vote was not only the expression of an imminent need in the face of fear, but it should also involve an act of constant conversion. [...] It is a real commitment. The Roman people, says the prelate, have a great devotion to the Virgin, but this devotion needs to be translated into concrete gestures, because otherwise there is a risk of separating religious devotion from daily practice. Faith and works must always go hand in hand.

(Riguardo alla morte di papa Francesco) In questi giorni Roma è un popolo che piange il suo vescovo, un popolo insieme ad altri popoli che si sono messi in fila, trovando uno spazio tra i luoghi della città per piangere e pregare, come pecore senza pastore. [...] Pecore senza pastore: una metafora che ci permette di ricomporre i sentimenti di questi giorni, e di attraversare la profondità dell’immagine che abbiamo ricevuto dal Vangelo di Giovanni, il chicco di grano che deve morire per dare frutto. [...] Una parabola che racconta l’amore del pastore per il suo gregge.
