Following the deadly
terrorist attack that claimed over 120 lives at Paris, France, on Friday night,
Nov. 13, 2015, the Holy See Press Office in a statement released Saturday,
November 14 2015 has sympathized with the French government and prayed for the
victims.
In the statement,
the Holy See Press Office said: “Here in the Vatican we are following the
terrible news from Paris. We are shocked by this new manifestation of
maddening, terrorist violence and hatred which we condemn in the most radical
way together with the Pope and all those who love peace. We pray for the
victims and the wounded, and for all the French people. This is an attack on
peace for all humanity, and it requires a decisive, supportive response on the
part of all of us as we counter the spread of homicidal hatred in all of its
forms.”
Cardinal André
Vingt-Trois, the Archbishop of Paris, has
announced that he will celebrate Mass in Notre Dame Cathedral on Sunday
evening for the victims, their families and the whole of France. The bells of
Notre Dame are expected to ring out 15 minutes before the Mass begins.
