In a press release issued yesterday, Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera of Mexico City expressed his condolences and spiritual closeness to those affected by the flooding in the states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Coahuila and called on the Mexican people to express their solidarity.
The cardinal urged Mexicans to help those affected by the natural disaster through organizations such as Caritas and the Mexican Red Cross.
“To the pastors of these areas, especially Cardinal Francisco Robles, the Archbishop of Mexico expresses his closeness and offers his prayers that the Lord will sustain and fill them with abundant blessings so that they can bring faith, hope and charity to those who have lost their homes or loved ones, whom we commend to the loving bosom of the Most Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, our sweet Mother.”
