Pope Francis sent a telegram to
President Sergio Mattarella on the pontiff's departure for
Luxembourg and Belgium Thursday saying he was praying for the
good of Italy.
"At the moment when I am preparing to make an apostolic journey
to Luxembourg and Belgium, moved by the desire to meet brothers
in faith and the inhabitants of those beloved nations, bringing
a message of peace and hope," the Pope wrote, "I accompany with
fervent prayers for the good and prosperity of the entire
Italian people."
