Pope Francis prays for the eternal repose of those killed in
a plane crash in Cuba in which over 100 people were killed.
Pope Francis has sent a telegramme of
condolences for the victims of a plane crash in Cuba in
which more than 100 people were killed.
In the message addressed to the Archbishop of Santiago de
Cuba, Dionisio Guillermo Garcia Ibanez, the Pope said he is praying for the
eternal repose of the dead.
Francis also expressed his closeness to the families of the
victims “in this hour of pain in which they are grieving for the unexpected
separation from their loved ones”.
May the Lord, the Pope said in the telegramme signed by the
Vatican Secretary of State on his behalf, give the families of the victims the
“spiritual serenity of Christian hope”.
The Boeing 737 airliner crashed on Friday evening near
Cuba’s main airport in Havana. It is the country’s worst air disaster in
decades.
Cuban authorities have launched an investigation, and two
days of national mourning have been declared.
