On the day after the attacks hitting the Belgian city, President of French bishops Msgr. Georges Pontier wrote to Archbishop of Malines-Brussels Msgr. Jozef de Kesel to express strong solidarity of the Church of France, which was also seriously wounded by terrorism last 13 November. “Alarming, disquieting news coming from Brussels – wrote Pontier – First of all, we are thinking of the victims, asking God to welcome them in His great mercy. We are thinking of their exhausted families: may the experience of the victory of Christ over death give them some consolation. We also express solidarity to the whole population: we condemn these mean attacks and we grant you our fervent prayer; in spite of all difficulties, we want to go on building bridges and fostering dialogue”.
