Italian Earthquake Victims Obituary
The 6.2-magnitude earthquake caused severe damage in the regions of Umbria, Lazio, and Marche, with effects felt as far away as Rome and Naples.
The earthquake's epicenter was in the town of Amatrice. The destruction in that town is so great that its mayor reported, "The town is no more," as he begged for help from rescuers.
Rescue vehicles were attempting to reach towns like Amatrice, which was cut off from the outside world because of damage to roads and a bridge, in the hours following the quake. Other towns with the most severe damage include Accumoli, Arquata del Tronto, and Pescara del Tronto.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi vowed in a brief statement to get each area the help it needed, stating, "No family, no city, no hamlet will be left alone."
Pope Francis gathered pilgrims to St. Peter's Square in a prayer vigil for the victims. His remarks included, "I cannot fail to express my heartfelt sorrow and spiritual closeness to all those present in the zones afflicted."
World leaders in France, Germany, the European Union, and beyond also expressed their dismay and solidarity. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was among those who reached out, stating, "I am deeply concerned to learn of the devastating earthquake in central Italy. The images of the devastation are shocking. Given the suffering and massive destruction I would like to express my deepest sympathy on behalf of the German population. We extend our deepest sympathies to the families of the deceased and wish those who are injured a speedy recovery."
Facebook activated its Safety Check feature for those in the regions affected by the earthquake to let family and friends know they are safe. The Red Cross requested that people in the region deactivate their Wi-Fi passwords, to make communications easier for rescue workers.

"The swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all.-Ecclesiastes 9:11 May God give you peace.

So sadden by the news of so many lives lost in this event. I am often comforted with this verse from the bible found in 2Thessalonians 2:16 " May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness. Comfort your hearts and make you firm. "
Warmest regards,

Voglio condividere alcune parole che sono state confortanti in momenti come questo. Si trovano nella Parola di Dio in Giacomo 1:13 , ci dice : "Quando è nella prova , nessuno dica: "Sono provato da Dio". Poiché con i mali Dio non può essere provato né egli stesso prova alcuno. "
Come confortante sapere che Dio non causa cose cattive , non hanno nemmeno provarli .
La Bibbia insegna anche che Dio non permetterà ancora per molto queste cose accada . Questo è promesso nella Rivelazione 21:3, 4 che recita in parte : "la morte non ci sarà più, né ci sarà più cordoglio né grido né dolore...". Tutte le condizioni che soffrono qui sulla Terra sarà un ricordo del passato.
Il comfort che viene da Dio attraverso la Sua Parola e lo Spirito dà loro la pace alle loro famiglie .
