[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

The priest is confirmed to be one of the deseased ones.

Lord have mercy on your servant this holy man's soul and if it's according to thy divine will take him into your Kingdom were he'll enjoy a everlasting life in your shining precense.
I pray this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Apparently more dead in Calais, France

Every. Single. Day. But Muslims aren't a problem...

 

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

I hope this reaches Pope Francis not that I believe he'll change stand regarding the refugees and what clearly is a naive approach, but so that he get to face the direct consequences of a ideology that he for one is known to embrace to fullness.

May God look to Pope Francis and others sharing this harmful views in mercy and forgive them for their sins.
Amen.

Do penance for our Holy Father everyone!
As an act of love to our father I urge that we do so.

In blessed repose, grant, O Lord, eternal rest to Your servant the priest, and may his memory be eternal.

I am thoroughly disgusted that this occured during Mass. I am shocked and appalled.

 

[Landon Caeli]

As a Catholic, I feel like this is a direct attack against me personally and I hope all the information and motives become available for the safety of all Catholics.

 

[Landon Caeli]

According to infowars, the original report that father had his throat slit was incorrect. They're saying he was actually beheaded.

Lord have mercy.

 

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

I'm left speechless
It's so so utterly disgusting and revolting !

 

[Landon Caeli]

This has officially tarnished my view of all Arabic Muslim immigrants. I honestly cannot trust them.

...If that makes me a sinner, then pray for me.

 

[AvilaSurfer]

Apparently this church was on a list of Catholic places to be targeted. So stay tuned......

These savages don't belong anywhere in Europe or the West in general. These killers will burn in hell with their false prophet. God bless the Martyr.

He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out. (Psalm 94:23)

Catholic Priest is beheaded in France during Mass.

Francois Hollande says France is at war with ISIS after two Islamist knifemen butchered a French priest and left a nun fighting for her life before they were both shot dead by police in Normandy.

One of the men who stormed into the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen during mass was a local man, who was being monitored by electronic tag after being jailed for trying to join fanatics in Syria.


The 84-year-old priest, named as Jacques Hamel, had his throats cut while a nun is critically injured in hospital following the raid which saw five people held hostage by ISIS assailants shouting Allahu Akbar.

This afternoon it emerged that the murdered clergyman was deputising while the parish priest was on holiday. French authorities say they have arrested a third man in connection with the attack.


The two killers were 'neutralised' by marksmen as they emerged from the building, which is now being searched for explosives. French president Hollande said France is 'at war' with ISIS while the terror group has claimed responsibility for the killing.

It comes as it emerged that the building was one of a number of Catholic churches on a terrorist 'hit list' found on a suspected ISIS extremist last April.

There are also reports that one of the attackers was a local resident who was under electronic tag surveillance having been jailed in France for trying to travel to Syria in 2015. His bail terms allowed him to be unsupervised between 8.30am and 12.30pm - the attack happened between 9am and 11am.

Jacques Hamel was the name of the martyred priest.
May he intercede for the earth and for all those who suffer in these dreadful times.

Lord I praise you for this wonderful gift to the church, a Holy man and a humble servant that has faithfully served you through his calling even into well past his 80s.
Thank you Lord for you're good.

Gloria Patri, et Filio et Spiritus Sancti.
Sicut etat in principio, nunc et in semper, in secula secculorum.
Amen.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Amen

 

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

May Father Jacques Hamel intercede on her behalf in heaven.
On his prayer I cling to the hope that God will spear her life.

Ave Maria, gratia plena...

Lord have mercy!

May the glorious martyr intercede for us before the throne of God
