Pope Francis: prayers for victims of London terror
attacks
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis offered prayers for the victims
of the Saturday evening terror attacks in London, as well as for the families
of the victims.
The prayers of the Holy Father came at the end of Mass on
Pentecost Sunday, during the course of remarks to the faithful gathered in St.
Peter’s Square, as they prepared to pray the Regina coeli with
him.
“May the Holy Spirit grant peace to the whole world,” Pope Francis
prayed, “may He heal the wounds of war and of terrorism, which even this
[Saturday] night, in London, struck innocent civilians: let us pray for the
victims and their families.”
Seven people are dead and 48 others are injured in London
after a van drove into pedestrians on London Bridge, after which the occupants
of the vehicle emerged and began stabbing people in Borough Market.
Witness reports say the assailants cried, “This is for
Allah,” as they stabbed their victims repeatedly.
Armed police shot and killed the three attackers.
