VACATION TIME: WHERE WILL I BE SUNDAY? – FRANCIS PRAYS FOR VICTIMS OF WILDFIRES IN HAWAII

VACATION TIME: WHERE WILL I BE SUNDAY?

Tomorrow I fly to beautiful Budapest and Sunday will embark on a Danube River cruise with my sister, Gail, from California. It should be a great week with ports in Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Germany and the Czech Republic!  I will surely try and share photos and videos as we cruise along. This is a trip we had to postpone from 2017 so both of us are really looking forward to quality time together. Gail’s oldest daughter, Beth (my godchild) and her husband will join us).

Vatican Insider will air on weekends and will be “the best of.”

FRANCIS PRAYS FOR VICTIMS OF WILDFIRES IN HAWAII

In a telegram addressed to the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Pietro Parolin conveys the Holy Father’s deep sadness at “the loss of life and the destruction caused by the wildfires” in Hawaii, and assures those affected by the fires of the Pope’s prayers.

“His Holiness Pope Francis was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and the destruction caused by the wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui,” reads a telegram sent by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin to the Apostolic Nuncio in the United States, Archbishop Christophe Pierre.

The telegram notes the Holy Father’s “solidarity with all those suffering from this tragedy, especially those whose loved ones have died or are missing.”
