Telegramma

THE MOST REVEREND MITJA LESKOVAR
APOSTOLIC NUNCIO IN IRAQ
BAGHDAD

    HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS WAS DEEPLY SADDENED TO LEARN OF THE LOSS OF LIFE IN THE EXPLOSION AT THE AL-WUHAILAT MARKET IN BAGHDAD AND HE SENDS CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE DIED. ENTRUSTING THEIR SOULS TO THE MERCY OF ALMIGHTY GOD, HIS HOLINESS RENEWS HIS FERVENT PRAYERS THAT NO ACT OF VIOLENCE WILL DIMINISH THE EFFORTS OF THOSE WHO STRIVE TO PROMOTE RECONCILIATION AND PEACE IN IRAQ.

CARDINAL PIETRO PAROLIN
