HIS EXCELLENCY ULF KRISTERSSON

PRIME MINISTER OF SWEDEN

HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS WAS DEEPLY SADDENED TO LEARN OF THE FATAL SHOOTING IN ÖREBRO, AND HE SENDS THE ASSURANCE OF HIS SPIRITUAL CLOSENESS TO ALL AFFECTED BY THIS TRAUMATIC INCIDENT. AT THE SAME TIME, HE OFFERS PRAYERS FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE DIED, FOR THE CONSOLATION OF THEIR GRIEVING FAMILIES AND FRIENDS, AND FOR THE SPEEDY RECOVERY OF THE INJURED. AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME FOR THE NATION, HIS HOLINESS INVOKES UPON THE SWEDISH PEOPLE ALMIGHTY GOD’S GIFTS OF UNITY AND PEACE.
