(VIS) – Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B., in
the Holy Father's name, sent a telegram to Archbishop Helio Adelar
Rubert of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, for the death of
231 youths on Saturday in a fire at a discotheque of that locality.
"The
Pope," reads the text, "shocked by the tragic death of
hundreds of young people … asks that you express his deepest
condolences to the families of the victims, sharing in the sorrow of
all those who mourn them. He entrusts the dead to God, the Father of
mercy, and prays for the comfort and restoration of the wounded and
for the courage and consolation of all those affected by the tragedy.
He sends his apostolic blessing to all those who are suffering and
those who are assisting them."
