“His Holiness Pope Francis asks you to convey his heartfelt condolences and the assurance of his prayers to all affected by this senseless act of violence,” the telegram addressed to the bishop of Nashville said.
The pope “joins the entire community in mourning the children and adults who died and commends them to the loving embrace of the Lord Jesus”.
