Vatican City, 20 May 2014 (VIS) –
Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin today sent a telegram on

Fundacion, in which 33 young children lost their lives, burned inside
a bus.
The Pope, “profoundly saddened,
expresses his closeness and affection to all those affected by this
regrettable event”, and “offers fervent prayers to God for the
eternal repose of the souls of the departed. United with those who
weep for this tragedy, he wishes to convey his heartfelt condolences
to the relatives of the deceased and his consolation to the
survivors, along with his hope that they make a swift and full
recovery”.
