Father Federico Lombardi, SJ, Director of the Holy See Press Centre issued a statement today regarding the attack that took place in Pakistan.
The horrible massacre of dozens of innocent people in a park in Lahore, Pakistan, casts a shadow of sadness and anguish on the feast of the Easter. Once again cowardly murderous hatred rages on the most defenseless. Together with the Pope, who has been informed of this tragedy, we pray for the victims; we are close to the wounded, to the affected families, to their immense pain, to the members of Christian minorities once again struck by fanatical violence, and to the entire Pakistani people. As the Pope stated this morning, despite such continuing horrible manifestations of hatred, may the crucified and risen Lord continue to give us the courage and hope needed to build paths of compassion, and solidarity, and with those who suffer, paths of dialogue, justice, reconciliation and peace.
