Vatican City, 22 November 2014 (VIS) –
The Holy Father has sent a telegram to Vinicio Angelini for the death
of Cardinal Fiorenzo Angelini last night at the age of 98. He offers
his condolences to the family of the deceased cardinal, to the
diocesan community of Rome and to the Benedictine Sisters of the
Reparation of the Holy Face, and expresses his affection for “this
dear and esteemed pastor, who exercised his long and intense ministry
to build up the Church in Rome, in Italy and in the world, first as
part of Catholic Action, then with praiseworthy apostolic zeal in
hospitals and nursing homes in Rome, and finally as president of the
Pontifical Council for Health Workers (for Health Pastoral Care)”.
He continues, “I raise fervent
prayers to the Lord that, by the intercession of the Mary Salus
Populi Romani, He may receive this generous and distinguished man of
the Church in joy and eternal peace, and I impart the comfort of my
heartfelt apostolic blessing to those who mourn his passing”.
