Messaggio
His Holiness Pope Francis was
shocked and profoundly saddened to learn of the killing of four Missionaries of
Charity and twelve others at a home for the elderly in Aden. He sends the
assurance of his prayers for the dead and his spiritual closeness to their
families and to all affected from this act of senseless and diabolical
violence.
He prays that this pointless
slaughter will awaken consciences, lead to a change of heart, and inspire all
parties to lay down their arms and take up the path of dialogue. In the name of
God, he calls upon all parties in the present conflict to renounce violence,
and to renew their commitment to the people of Yemen, particularly those most
in need, whom the Sisters and their helpers sought to serve. Upon everyone
suffering from this violence, the Holy Father invokes God’s blessing, and in a
special ways he extends to the Missionaries of Charity his prayerful sympathy
and solidarity. Cardinal Pietro Parolin
