Published
Pope Francis‘ final hours alive are being detailed by the Vatican … including his last words, which were directed at his nurse and caregiver.
The Vatican says Francis, who died Monday morning, was hesitant to make a surprise appearance on Easter Sunday in Saint Peter’s Square, where 50,000 Christians had gathered.

Francis went for a ride in the Popemobile and interacted with the masses … but only after asking his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, “Do you think I can manage it?”
With the 88-year-old pontiff reassured, Francis toured the square in the Popemobile … even taking time to embrace folks on his route … including some children.
The Vatican says some of Francis’ last words were an expression of thanks to Strappetti … “Thank you for bringing me back to the Square.”
The late pope then rested for the remainder of Sunday afternoon before a quiet dinner … showing the first signs of illness on Monday around 5:30 AM before falling into a coma and dying from a heart issue.
The Vatican also says Francis waved goodbye to his nurse before going into his coma.
Francis’ funeral is scheduled for 10 AM Saturday in St. Peter’s Square.
