I posted a story yesterday on the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Pietro Sambi, as he lay ill after a very complicated and delicate surgery. Sadly confirmation tonight that Sambi has passed away. He has served Pope Benedict XVI as the nuncio to the United States since 2006 and just turned 73.
From all indications he was a dedicated servant and quite the friend to the Catholic Church here in America.
I'll keep this post short and just ask that all join in prayers for the repose of Archbishop Sambi's soul. May he rest in peace.
