Pope Francis is closely following the historic drama that is taking place in Valencia. He mentioned it again during the Angelus.
POPE FRANCIS
And let us continue to pray for Valencia and the other communities of Spain, which are suffering a lot these days.
Days earlier he had sent a recorded message by telephone from the Apostolic Palace. And on the feast of All Saints, during the Angelus, he had also asked for prayers.
POPE FRANCIS
For the deceased and their loved ones and for all the families affected. May the Lord sustain those who suffer and bring them help. Let us express our closeness to the people of Valencia.
The Angelus is one of the Pope's weekly public appointments with the faithful. The pontiff does not usually overlook environmental catastrophes that have devastated cities or entire territories.
