the pope spoke about valencia
“I pray for the people of Valencia and the rest of Spain,” the pope said at Sunday Mass at the Vatican. Francis appealed to other believers to join in providing spiritual support to flood-affected areas. More than 210 people are known to have died in Valencia, and the toll is likely to rise further. The head of the Catholic Church also paid attention to the Italian constitution and its provisions regarding war.
Like every Sunday, the Pope celebrated Mass in St. Peter's Square. Along with his followers, he prayed the following prayer during the Angelus: For flood victims.
– Let us continue to pray for the people of Valencia and other parts of Spain who have suffered so much recently, he said.
