Cardinal Vincent Nichols has expressed his sadness at Monday night's bombing of the Manchester Arena. In a letter to Bishop of Salford John Arnold, the cardinal wrote: "It is with great sorrow that I heard the media reports if last night's atrocity, in Manchester. "May God grant strength and enduring faith to all who are bereaved, injured and traumatised. May God welcome into His merciful presence all who have died. May God turn the hearts of all who commit evil to a true understanding of His desire and intention for humanity."
