Pope prays for earthquake victims in Ecuador, Japan
(Vatican Radio) During
remarks following the Regina Coeli on Sunday, Pope Francis offered prayers for
victims of earthquakes in Ecuador and Japan.
“May the help of God and of
their brothers give them strength and support,” he said.
More than 70 people were
killed and hundreds more injured in the 7.8 magnitude quake that struck Ecuador
overnight. The strongest earthquake to hit Ecuador in decades flattened
buildings and buckled highways along its Pacific coast, sending the Andean
nation into a state of emergency.
On Saturday, a 7.3 magnitude
quake hit Japan, killing at least 32 people, injuring about a thousand and
causing widespread damage to houses, roads and bridges.
