Statement on the death of Queen Elizabeth II
Catholic leaders in Australia and around the world have responded with sadness to the announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral, her residence in Scotland, after a reign of more than 70 years.
As Australians woke this morning to the news, Archbishop Peter A Comensoli said, ‘It is with sadness and deep respect that we mourn the death and honour the life of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
‘Her Majesty drew deeply on her faith at all times, and often referred to the reconciliation, service and love which flows from Christian commitment. A model of grace and dignity for us all.
In these early hours of this news, may our prayers be with her family, for all the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms, and in fact our shared global family who have now lost a reassuring constant in our lives.
Unite with Christians everywhere and celebrate #SeasonOfCreation. A time of restoration and hope, a jubilee for our Earth! Participate with the global Christian family and me in prayer and action for our common home.
