Vatican
City, 9 April 2013
(VIS) – Today, Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone,
S.D.B., sent a telegram on behalf of the Holy Father to Mr. David
Cameron, prime minister of the United Kingdom, on the death yesterday
at 87 years of age of the Baroness Margaret Thatcher who governed the
United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990.
“His
Holiness Pope Francis” reads the telegram, “was saddened to learn
of the death of Baroness Margaret Thatcher. He recalls with
appreciation the Christian values which underpinned her commitment to
public service and to the promotion of freedom among the family of
nations. Entrusting her soul to the mercy of God, and assuring her
family and the British people of a remembrance in his prayers, the
Holy Father invokes upon all whose lives she touched God’s abundant
blessings.”
