Vatican
City, 26 June 2013
(VIS) – Pope Francis, through Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio
Bertone, S.D.B., sent a telegram of condolence yesterday to the
family of Senator Emilio Colombo, who died this past Monday in Rome.
He was 93 years old.
The
text recalls that the politician was “a devout Catholic, an
important figure in the Italian Republic, an outstanding man who, in
his public roles, knew how to act with generous commitment to promote
the common good.” The Pope entrusted Senator Colombo's soul to the
maternal protection of the Virgin Mary and imparted the Apostolic
Blessing upon all his family members and all those who are taking
part in his funeral rites.
