Vatican City, 29 October 2014 (VIS) –
After today's catechesis, Pope Francis expressed his grave concern
regarding the worsening of the Ebola epidemic, “this implacable
disease that is spreading especially in Africa, and in particular
among the most disadvantaged populations”.
The Holy Father expressed his affection
and closeness in prayer to those affected, along with the doctors,
nurses, volunteers, religious institutes and associations “who are
making heroic efforts to help our stricken brothers and sisters”.
He renewed his appeal to the international community “to take all
necessary measures to eradicate the virus and to alleviate the
suffering of those who are so sorely afflicted”.
Addressing the faithful present in St.
Peter's Square, he concluded, “I invite you to pray for them and
for those who have lost their lives”.
