The Pope expresses his “proximity with the Valencian people” after DANA which left more than 200 dead

The Pope expressed his “proximity with the inhabitants of Valencia”, affected by DANA, whose effects more than 200 people diedas confirmed by the authorities in recent hours.

During the Angelus on the occasion of the Feast of All Saints that the Church celebrates every November 1, Francis expressed his pain at the storm that devastated Spain and which has already become one of the disasters deadliest natural disasters in the country’s history.

After sending a video message to the Spanish Episcopal Conference on Thursday, Francisco recalled all those affected by DANA. “For the deceased and their loved ones and for all families. May the Lord support those who suffer and to those who help them. Our closeness to the people of Valencia,” he said after reciting the Marian prayer.

In his appeals, the Pontiff also kept in mind the victims of terrorism and wars. “For all people who suffer wars. War is always, always a defeat and is ignoble because it is the triumph of lies, lies. It seeks maximum self-interest and maximum damage for the “adversary by trampling on human lives, the environment, infrastructure, everything and everything is masked by lies,” he lamented.

Likewise, he denounced the fact that “the innocent suffer” in war. “I think of the 153 women and children massacred in Gaza in recent days,” he added.

On the other hand, this Friday he celebrated solidarity in the streets of Rome during the La corsa dei santi race, organized each year by the Salesians in collaboration with different sponsors, and which starts from St. Peter’s Square.
