Pope Francis prayed Sunday for Indonesian Catholics injured in a bombing as they left a Palm Sunday Mass.
Speaking before the recitation of the Angelus on March 28, the pope referred to the attack that took place at around 10:30 a.m. local time on Sunday outside Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in Makassar, capital of South Sulawesi province.
Initial reports suggested that at least 10 worshipers were injured by the blast.
“Let us pray for all the victims of violence, especially those of this morning’s attack in Indonesia, in front of the Cathedral of Makassar,” the pope said.
The pope made the remark at the end of his Angelus address at the conclusion of his Palm Sunday Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica.
