(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis is offering
his “fervent prayers” for 44 Argentinian sailors aboard a submarine that
has been missing since Wednesday.
In a telegram sent addressed to the Bishop Santiago
Olivera, the head Military Ordinariate of Argentina, Vatican Secretary of
State Cardinal Pietro Parolin noted the Pope’s concern for the
sailors and expressed the Pope’s spiritual closeness to the families of the
sailors, and to the military and civil authorities of the nation. He also noted
the Holy Father’s encouragement for the efforts being made to find the vessel.
“His Holiness entrusts them to the maternal intercession of
the Blessed Virgin, “ Cardinal Parolin said, and “he asks the Lord to instill
in them spiritual serenity and Christian hope in these circumstances, in pledge
of which he cordially imparts the comforting Apostolic Blessing.”
