I don’t think this is Catholic but it is certainly not secular so I decided to put it in this forum. Hope that is okay :o .

**Missionary’s body due to return to Bermuda

******By Dan Jones

The body of an aid worker gunned down in front of his pregnant wife was due to be flown back to Bermuda last night.

Relatives of tragic Colin Lee confirmed he was due to be brought home from Africa yesterday evening.

Mr. Lee was ambushed by about 20 suspected rebels and then murdered while carrying out missionary work with his wife in Sudan.
Please continue to pray for all missionaries, especially for the repose of the souls of those who have been martyred (they have no one else to pray for them if they were not Catholic since they do not believe in purgatory).
 
Quotes from cited news articles should be limited to one to three paragraphs. Thanks.
 
Praise God for Colin Lee. What a wounderful testimony to loving God with out fear. There is no greater love than to lay your life down for another. Mr. Lee died serving the Lord. Please pray for his family as he enters in to Glory.
Please pray for Mrs. Lee’s safety and strength. The article continues:
Despite her husband’s senseless murder, Mr. Lee’s wife – a long-serving member of IAS – has vowed to carry on living and working in Africa.

Thank you for the article. I will pray for peace in the Sudan and for the widow but Catholic or not Colin Lee died a martyr’s death and in all likelihood went straight to heaven. Six long agonizing hours after the shooting he died; sounds like he suffered his purgatory on earth. Remarkably, he became a Christian only ten years ago.
