Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Jul 25, 2010 / 11:21 am (CNA/EWTN News).- After Sunday’s Angelus, Pope Benedict remembered the victims of a tragic incident during a celebration in Germany this weekend.

Nineteen people died as a result of a “stampede” at a musical festival called the “Love Parade” in Duisburg, Germany on Saturday night. According to Reuters, after closing the only entrance to the festival, a tunnel, in an attempt to better organize the massive crowd, “mass panic” broke out.

It is nice to hear that Pope Benedict XVI remembered those who were involved in this horrific accident. May they rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.
