The “intense” letter voiced sorrow to abuse victims while urging reparation for sins.
In a pastoral letter released on Saturday, the Holy Father urged victims to find solace and communion with the Church through a relationship with Jesus Christ, who was also “a victim of injustice and sin.” He exhorted abuse victims to look to the wounds of the Savior’s unjust suffering.
