Pope Francis expresses sadness over the murder of two sisters in South Sudan
Pope Francis expresses his sadness over the murder of two religious of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart that took place on Monday, August 16 in South Sudan, the Vatican News reported.
The Pope expressed his deep sadness in receiving news of the “brutal attack” on a group of Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that resulted in the deaths of Sister Mary Abud and Sister Regina Roba.
In the telegram, sent through Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State, the Pope offered his “heartfelt condolences” to their families and religious community in the wave of this “senseless act of violence.”
He expressed his hope that “their sacrifice will advance the cause of peace, reconciliation, and security in the region” and offered prayers for “their eternal rest and the comfort of those who grieve their loss.”.
The two sisters were killed following an ambush on the road that connects the South Sudanese capital Juba to Nimule, on the border with Uganda. The nuns, along with some sisters and several faithful, were returning to Juba after participating in the celebration of the centenary of the establishment of the parish of Loa, in the diocese of Torit, where the church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption.
They were traveling on a bus that was attacked by armed men. Local sources reported that Sister Mary, Sister Regina, and three other people were killed as a result of the assault.
