Vatican City, 25 March 2015 (VIS) –
Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin has sent a telegram of
condolences to Bishop Jean-Philippe Nault, France, on behalf of the
Holy Father following the air crash that occurred in the area
yesterday, in which all 150 passengers and crew were killed.
“Upon learning of the tragic air
accident that occurred in the region of Digne, claiming numerous
victims, including many schoolchildren, His Holiness Pope Francis
participates in the suffering of the families, expressing his
closeness in prayer. He prays for the eternal repose of the departed,
commending them to God's mercy, so that He might welcome them into
his house of peace and light. He expresses his profound sympathy for
all those affected by the tragedy, and for the rescuers who have to
intervene in such difficult conditions. The Holy Father asks the Lord
to bring strength and consolation to all and, as a pledge of solace,
invokes divine blessings in abundance”.
