Vatican City, 22 November 2015 (VIS) –
Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin has sent a telegram on
behalf of the Holy Father to Archbishop Jean Zerbo of Bamako, Mali,
following the terrorist attack against a hotel in which 27 people
lost their lives. The following is the full text of the message:
“Saddened to learn of the tragic
attack in Bamako, His Holiness Pope Francis joins in prayer with the
suffering of the mourning families and of the people of Mali. He
entrusts all the victims to God's mercy, and prays that He welcome
them in His light. He expresses his deepest sympathy with the injured
and their families, asking the Lord to bring them comfort and
consolation in their suffering. Appalled by this senseless violence,
which he strongly condemns, the Holy Father implores of God the
conversion of hearts and the gift of peace, and invokes the abundance
of divine blessings on all those affected by this tragedy”.
