Cardinal remembers Easter Sunday terror attack victims with tears [VIDEO]

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – While in Rome, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith on Thursday (20) recalled the terrible consequences of bombs that exploded in 3 Churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.

Through tears, he remembered the more than 300 who died, the terrible pain the wounded experienced and all those who lost relatives.

“There is a husband who has lost his wife and 3 children. When I went to visit him, he told me that before, when he returned from work, all three children ran to the door to greet him. Today, there is no one, only the empty house. He is left alone,” the Cardinal explained he will meet with the Pope to tell him about the situation in the country.

“I asked the Catholics, and the Buddhists and everyone else, not to raise their hand against Muslims. Because it is clear that the Muslim community had nothing to do with this,” the Archbishop emphasised.

After the attacks, he visited the Mosques in the area to transmit peace to the country and avoid any type of retaliation.
