Pope Francis appeals for condemnation of terrorism
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Wednesday said it was with an “aching heart” that he followed the news of
the terrorist attacks in Brussels on Tuesday which killed at least 34 people
and injured hundreds of others.
The Holy Father was speaking
during his weekly
general audience.
He assured the families of
the victims and all of those injured, as well as all the people of Belgium, of
his prayers and spiritual closeness.
"I once again appeal to
all people of good will to unite in the unanimous condemnation of these cruel
abominations that are causing only death, terror and horror,” Pope Francis
said.
"I ask everyone to
persevere in prayer and to ask the Lord in this Holy Week to comfort the hearts
afflicted and convert the hearts of these people blinded by this cruel
fundamentalism," he continued.
He ended his appeal by
leading the crowd in praying a Hail Mary, and asking them to pray, in silence,
for the dead, wounded, their families, and for all the Belgian people.
