Your Holiness,
Please accept my heartfelt and deepest condolences over the fire that broke out in Abu-Seifein Church in Cairo, killing and injuring dozens of the faithful of the Coptic Church.
At this tragic moment, together with you I pray to the Lord that He may grant rest to the souls of those who died prematurely. With all my heart, I wish the soonest recovery to the injured and consolation and fortitude in spirit to their relatives and friends.
With love in the Lord,
