  • Summary

  • When asked to support prison ministry initiatives financially, even as Vatican resources dwindled, Francis did not hesitate to use his personal savings. "Don't worry, I have something in my account," he told Ambarus, before transferring 200,000 euros for the needs of the incarcerated—money he might have kept for his own use in his final days.

    A poignant detail revealed after his death showed that Francis' burial would be paid for by a benefactor. Having given everything to others, he left no money behind in a final demonstration of solidarity with the poor and marginalized.
