In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity. Amen.以至聖三位一體之名。阿門。
As I sense that the twilight of my earthly life is approaching, and with firm hope in Eternal Life, I wish to express my final wishes regarding my burial place.當我感覺到我塵世生命的黃昏時刻即將來臨，懷著對永生的堅定希望，我希望表達我關於安葬地點的最後心願。
I have always entrusted my life and priestly and episcopal ministry to the Mother of Our Lord, Mary Most Holy. Therefore, I ask that my mortal remains rest, awaiting the day of resurrection, in the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major.我一直將我的生命以及神父和主教的牧職委託給我們主的聖母瑪利亞。因此，我請求在我的遺體等待復活之日，能夠安放於聖母大殿（Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major）。
I wish that my final earthly journey conclude precisely in this ancient Marian shrine, where I go to pray at the beginning and end of every Apostolic Journey to faithfully entrust my intentions to the Immaculate Mother and to give thanks for her gentle and maternal care.我希望我的最後塵世旅程能在這座古老的瑪利亞聖地結束，每次使徒之旅的開始與結束我都會前往祈禱，忠實地將我的心願託付給聖母，並感謝她溫柔如慈母般的照撫。 （相關報導： 全球悼念教宗方濟各逝世，川普發文悼念：願上帝保佑他、還有所有愛他的人 ｜ 更多文章 ）
