With profound emotion, the Holy Father, Pope Francis learned about the terrible attack of violence that took place in Berlin, in which - besides a considerable number of wounded - many people have met their deaths. His Holiness expresses his participation in the mourning of family members, expressing his own compassion and assuring his closeness to them in their suffering. In his prayer, he entrusts the dead to the mercy of God and beseeches him on behalf of those who have been wounded.
The Holy Father thanks those who are involved in emergency services and security for their assistance.
