"[T]he quake even disturbed the Earth´s rotation."

Re: Tidal Waves Kill More Than 3,300 in Asia & Death Toll in Quake, Tsunami Reportedly Tops 6,300

Here is the message of the Holy Father in response to this terrible disaster, quoted from Pope calls for prayers and help for the victims of the earthquake in Asia:
    The Christmas holiday has been saddened by news coming from South-East Asia that a strong earthquake has hit Indonesia with a ripple effect in other countries like Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and the Maldives.

    We are praying for the victims of this immense tragedy and express our solidarity to all those who are suffering, whilst calling on the international community to act swiftly to bring help to the populations invloved.

Lord, in Thy mercy, hear our prayer.
