BBC report

Luigi Padovese, 63, was attacked in the garden of his summer house in the Mediterranean port of Iskenderun, according to Anatolia news agency.

Police have arrested Bishop Padovese’s driver, a man identified only as Murat A. He was suffering from psychological problems, the provincial governor said…

Give rest, O Lord, to the soul of Thy servant Luigi who has fallen asleep.

I will be putting him up on my Martyrs blog soon www.thebloodofthemartyrs.blogspot.com

Truly this is a sorrowful day for Christianity as a whole.

So much for being under treatment. I will pray for the good Bishop’s soul.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord,
and may the perpetual light shine upon him.

God bless

I found about this righteous man’s death an hour or so ago on a different web forum and I prayed a couple of prayers for him then. However, I will pray a couple more now and try to remember him in my Mass intentions this weekend.

Memory eternal.
