Now telling of the attack by murderous Islamic extremists who broke into a small French church during mass, he said that the priest, about to be murdered, “had tried to fend his attackers off right to the end, crying out, ‘Satan, get out of here, get out, Satan.’”
“However, he was convinced that even at that moment the priest was not condemning the young jihadist killing him. ‘They were in the grip of evil, it’s a bit like a sect.’”
Pope Francis said the priest they murdered, Father Hamel, “was a martyr and already on his way to becoming a saint.”
The, man, who was speaking for the first time about the attack, was stabbed himself, one time in the throat, and left for dead. “The emergency medic who treated me told me ‘you had divine protection because the knife attacks missed your vital organs. But it really wasn’t far away–it’s like a miracle.’”

Prayers to and for the martyred priest…
Be with us as we traverse this often wicked and evil place. Pray with us and for us that God sends his light and peace… Amen.
 
God bless this priest. Prayers for him and all those parishioners.

O saving Victim, opening wide the gate of heaven to man below! Our foes press in from every side: Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow! (From a hymn of St. Thomas Aquinas.)

Christus vincit!
Christus regnat!
Christus imperat!
