Speaking in the chapel of the Santa Marta residence in the Vatican, the Pope said: “[Wednesday’s] terror attack in Paris brings to mind so much cruelty – human cruelty – so much terrorism, both isolated [incidents of] terrorism and of state terrorism. Of how much cruelty is man capable!” He added: “We pray, in this Mass, for the victims of this cruelty – so many of them – and we pray also for the perpetrators of such cruelty, that the Lord might change their heart.” #prayforparis #prayforall #prayforpeace
