Pope Francis leads pilgrims in St Peter’s Square in prayer
for victims of flooding in India
By Christopher Wells
At the Angelus on Sunday, Pope Francis prayed for victims of
the flooding in the Indian state of Kerala. “In recent days,” he noted, “the
inhabitants of Kerala have been harshly struck by intense rains, which have
caused flooding and landslides, with heavy loss of human life, with many people
missing and displaced, with extensive damage to crops and homes.”
The Holy Father voiced his hopes that “these brothers and
sisters” would always be supported by our solidarity, and by concrete support
from the international community. In that regard, he expressed his closeness to
the Church in Kerala, “which is at the forefront of efforts to bring aid to the
population.”
Pope Francis than led the crowds gathered in St Peter’s
Square in prayer for those suffering from “this great calamity.”
