The letter, written by Jose Luis de San Pio, was circulated today by Caritas-Madrid, where he has been a volunteer.

In his letter to the victims, San Pio said: «I want you to know that I am also with you. But I also want you to know that many of us have prayed for you and for each one of those affected, and we will continue to do so.»

«If, unfortunately, one of your dear ones died in the attacks and, if as me you are a believer, remember that death does not have the last word,» he wrote.

«Our lives are changed by being victims of terrorism, but not necessarily for the worse. I found strength to rise from my anguish by deciding to work for a more solidaristic world in Caritas-Madrid,» said San Pio, whose daughter was pregnant when she died together with her husband John in the 2001 attack.
