The pope requested that his condolences be communicated by telephone on Wednesday evening, June 10.
The pope said he was praying that the Virgin Mary of Appareseeda, the national arbiter, would help the people to overcome the crisis, while expressing their solidarity with the suffering Brazilian people. The pope requested the people to commemorate the Holy Mother’s special request in his name.
