The world collectively mourns the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis on April 21, 2025, a figure whose profound impact transcended religious boundaries. Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura [https://www.queenmaria.org/], bearing the esteemed title of Bae Mompong of the Sultanate of Maguindanao, and recognized globally as the "Traveling Queen" from the Philippines, adds her voice to the chorus of sorrow. She emphasizes the Pope's enduring legacy of compassion, humility, and tireless dedication to serving humanity, virtues that resonated deeply across diverse cultures and faiths.
Art as a Personal and Cultural Bridge
Queen Mariam's recollection of her journey to Italy to meet Pope Francis is imbued with profound gratitude. This encounter, a testament to the Pope's accessibility and genuine spirit, stands as a cherished memory. During their meeting, she presented him with a personally created portrait painting. This artwork, a fusion of realistic and abstract elements, was designed to symbolize the Pope's transformative influence, particularly on the lives of children. The Queen's artistic offering was not merely a personal tribute but also a cultural bridge, carrying with it the artistic traditions and heartfelt sentiments of the Sultanate of Maguindanao. The Pope's gracious acceptance and sincere appreciation of this culturally significant gift deeply moved Mariam, underscoring his ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life.

Recognizing a Global Humanitarian and Cultural Connection
As the founder of We Care for Humanity (WCH), [https://www.wecareforhumanity.org/] a U.S.-based charitable organization, and chairperson of the prestigious Greatest Humanitarians of the World Award, Her Royal Highness Queen Mariam had the distinct honor of bestowing this recognition upon Pope Francis. His acceptance of this tribute from WCH served as a powerful source of inspiration, reinforcing the organization's commitment to humanitarian endeavors. Furthermore, Queen Mariam played a pivotal role in introducing the Sultanate of Maguindanao [https://www.sultanateofmaguindanao.com/] to Pope Francis during her visit to the Vatican City in October 2023, forging a unique cultural connection between the Islamic Sultanate and the Catholic Church.
