I read the blog posts for the church that happened at and it gave a time for a memorial Mass at the Rouen Cathedral ser-ta-paroisse.over-blog.org/2016/07/messe-a-la-memoire-de-pere-hamel.html
Don’t forget though, this happens everyday in the Middle East. I am so suck of Daesh, well I am sick of violence. We can blame the weapons, we can blame religion, we can blame ideology, but at the end of the day, the person setting off this bombs is who made that decision, the person who used that knife to kill made that decision, the person behind the trigger during a shooting made that decision. Something has to change. People shouldn’t think this is alright.
 
I’m in Lourdes this week, and I was up at the Grotto an hour ago. I was watching one of the torchlight processions, the Rosary was being said in several different languages and I felt a great sense of affinity with my Catholic brothers and sisters from around the world. In light of what’s happened today, it was so moving.

May peace and the love of Christ prevail. Mary, Mother of God please pray for us all.
 
I wasn’t able to read the article as I have read my limit of free articles this month.
thank you for your condolences. these attacks are becoming too common and not easy to predict the next target. we are all losing our freedoms to live in peace.
 
This scourge needs to be removed from the planet, just as Hitler and his minions were removed.

These are not humans as we all know humans to be!

I know this sounds harsh, but a spade is a spade! This has got to stop, and being “nice” and “understanding” isn’t cutting it!
 
Appreciate this thread OP. I just now finally noticed the ArchBishop in France mentioned the Beatitude of Love your enemies pray for those who persecute you. So it is my firm hope and prayer the World will recognize that the True God Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life.

Praying also for the conversion of Muslims.

When I heard of the brutal, awful account of how that poor elderly priest was forced to kneel then had his throat cut, I was overwhelmed at the mental image, and I just sat down and wept for him, for all involved.Every day one hears of atrocities, how long oh Lord before you end this evil mess that is our world? To the French people I can only say, I weep for you. Je suis desole.( no acute accent on my phone.
 
My condolences to the faithful among the Catholics, as well. However, this priest was not just a Catholic priest, he was many things: a human being, a French citizen, an innocent victim, a pious man to God, and so on.

May he rest in peace, and may all who knew him have peace.
 
God bless and rest the good Father’s soul. May France be strengthened, that the Eldest Daughter of the Church might remember and retake that prestigious place back, no matter how much it might irritate the secularists or the non- Christians. May the Lord work in France for the conversion of the lost souls there to the Light of the Gospel.
 
My heart aches after hearing about this.

How horrible.:mad:

God bless you, Father. Pray for us.:signofcross:
