Falando aos familiares e amigos dos que morreram na corrida na cidade italiana de Corinaldo, o papa lembrou em 12 de setembro que ficou abalado quando ouviu a notícia pela primeira vez.
“Este encontro ajuda a mim e à Igreja a não esquecer, a ter no coração e, sobretudo, a confiar os seus entes queridos ao coração de Deus Pai”, disse.
Seis pessoas morreram e 59 ficaram feridas na boate Lanterna Azzurra em 8 de dezembro de 2018. Três adolescentes e dois meninos, e uma mulher que acompanhava sua filha a um show no local, morreram durante o estouro.
Seis homens compareceram a um tribunal em março em Ancona, região central da Itália, sob a acusação de homicídio culposo relacionado ao incidente. “Cada morte trágica traz consigo uma grande dor”, disse o papa. “Mas quando cinco adolescentes e uma jovem mãe são levados, é imenso, insuportável, sem a ajuda de Deus.”
Ele disse que, embora não pudesse abordar as causas do incidente, ele se uniu “de todo o coração ao seu sofrimento e ao seu legítimo desejo de justiça”. Observando que Corinaldo não está longe do santuário mariano de Loreto, disse que a Santíssima Virgem Maria esteve perto de quem perdeu a vida.
“Quantas vezes a invocaram na Ave Maria, ‘Rogai por nós pecadores, agora e na hora da nossa morte!’ fundamentos: ela é uma mãe. Certamente, ela os acompanhou ao abraço misericordioso de seu Filho Jesus. ”
O papa observou que a debandada ocorreu nas primeiras horas do dia 8 de dezembro, solenidade da Imaculada Conceição. Ele disse: “Naquele mesmo dia, no final da recitação do Angelus, eu orei com o povo pelas jovens vítimas, pelos feridos e por seus familiares”. “Sei que muitos – a começar pelos vossos bispos, aqui presentes, os vossos sacerdotes e as vossas comunidades – vos apoiaram com a oração e com o afecto. Minha oração por você também continua, e eu a acompanho com minha bênção ”.
Depois de dar sua bênção, o Papa Francisco convidou os presentes a rezar uma Ave Maria pelos que morreram, lembrando-os pelo nome: Asia Nasoni, 14, Benedetta Vitali, 15, Daniele Pongetti, 16, Emma Fabini, 14, Mattia Orlandi, 15, e Eleonora Girolimini, 39.

Dans son empathie paternelle habituelle, RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY a enregistré que le pape François, en tant que père compatissant, avait réconforté des proches de proches tués dans une bousculade dans une discothèque en 2018 lors d’une audience au Vatican samedi.
S’adressant aux membres de la famille et aux amis de ceux qui sont morts dans la bousculade dans la ville italienne de Corinaldo, le pape a rappelé le 12 septembre qu’il avait été secoué lorsqu’il avait appris la nouvelle pour la première fois.
«Cette rencontre m’aide, moi et l’Église, à ne pas oublier, à garder à cœur et surtout à confier vos proches au cœur de Dieu le Père», a-t-il dit.
Six personnes ont été tuées et 59 blessées à la discothèque Lanterna Azzurra le 8 décembre 2018. Trois adolescentes et deux garçons, ainsi qu’une femme qui avait accompagné sa fille à un concert sur place, sont morts au cours de la bousculade.
Six hommes ont comparu devant un tribunal en mars à Ancône, dans le centre de l’Italie, pour homicide involontaire coupable lié à l’incident. «Chaque mort tragique entraîne un grand chagrin», a déclaré le pape. “Mais quand cinq adolescents et une jeune mère sont enlevés, c’est immense, insupportable, sans l’aide de Dieu.”
Il a déclaré que, s’il ne pouvait pas aborder les causes de l’incident, il était «de tout mon cœur à vos souffrances et à votre désir légitime de justice». Constatant que Corinaldo n’est pas loin du sanctuaire marial de Lorette, il a dit que la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie était proche de ceux qui ont perdu la vie.
«Combien de fois l’ont-ils invoquée dans le Je vous salue Marie,« Priez pour nous pécheurs, maintenant et à l’heure de notre mort! »Et même si dans ces moments chaotiques ils n’ont pas pu le faire, Notre-Dame n’oublie pas notre plaidoyers: elle est une mère. Certainement, elle les a accompagnés dans l’étreinte miséricordieuse de son Fils Jésus.
Le pape a noté que la bousculade s’est produite dans les premières heures du 8 décembre, la solennité de l’Immaculée Conception. Il a dit: «Ce même jour, à la fin de la récitation de l’Angélus, j’ai prié avec les gens pour les jeunes victimes, pour les blessés et pour les membres de votre famille. «Je sais que beaucoup – à commencer par vos évêques présents ici, vos prêtres et vos communautés – vous ont soutenus par la prière et avec affection. Ma prière pour vous continue également et je l’accompagne de ma bénédiction.
Après avoir donné sa bénédiction, le pape François a invité les personnes présentes à dire un Je vous salue Marie pour ceux qui sont morts, en les rappelant par leur nom: Asia Nasoni, 14 ans, Benedetta Vitali, 15 ans, Daniele Pongetti, 16 ans, Emma Fabini, 14 ans, Mattia Orlandi, 15 ans, et Eleonora Girolimini, 39 ans.

In his usual fatherly empathy, RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY recorded that Pope Francis as a compassionate father, comforted relatives of loved ones killed in a nightclub stampede in 2018 during an audience at the Vatican Saturday.
Speaking to family members and friends of those who died in the stampede in the Italian town of Corinaldo, the pope recalled Sept. 12 that he was shaken when he first heard the news.
“This meeting helps me and the Church not to forget, to keep at heart, and above all to entrust your loved ones to the heart of God the Father,” he said.
Six people were killed and 59 injured at the Lanterna Azzurra nightclub on Dec. 8, 2018. Three teenage girls and two boys, and a woman who had accompanied her daughter to a concert at the venue, died during the stampede.
Six men appeared before a court in March in Ancona, central Italy, on charges of manslaughter relating to the incident. “Every tragic death brings with it great grief,” the pope said. “But when five teenagers and a young mother are taken, it is immense, unbearable, without God’s help.”
He said that, while he could not address the causes of the incident, he was joined “with all my heart to your suffering and your legitimate desire for justice.” Observing that Corinaldo is not far from the Marian shrine of Loreto, he said that the Blessed Virgin Mary was close to those who lost their lives.
“How many times have they invoked her in the Hail Mary, ‘Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death!’ And even if in those chaotic moments they were not able to do so, Our Lady does not forget our pleas: she is a Mother. Certainly, she accompanied them to the merciful embrace of her Son Jesus.”
The pope noted that the stampede occurred in the early hours of Dec. 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. He said: “On that same day, at the end of the Angelus recitation, I prayed with the people for the young victims, for the injured, and for your family members.” “I know that many — starting with your bishops, present here, your priests and your communities — have supported you with prayer and with affection. My prayer for you also continues, and I accompany it with my blessing.”
After giving his blessing, Pope Francis invited those present to say a Hail Mary for those who died, recalling them by name: Asia Nasoni, 14, Benedetta Vitali, 15, Daniele Pongetti, 16, Emma Fabini, 14, Mattia Orlandi, 15, and Eleonora Girolimini, 39.
