(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has sent his ?sympathy and closeness in prayer? to the people of Boston in a telegram sent on his behalf.
The telegram reads ?In the aftermath of this senseless tragedy, His Holiness invokes God?s peace upon the dead, his consolation upon the suffering and his strength upon all those engaged in the continuing work of relief and response. At this time of mourning the Holy Father prays that all Bostonians will be united in a resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good (cf. Rom 12:21), working together to build an ever more just, free and secure society for generations yet to come.?
