A seminarian in north-central Mexico was kidnapped and murdered during Holy Week.Like other seminarians, Samuel Gustavo Gómez Veleta, 21, had been assigned to do rural missionary work …
By Thy resurrection from the dead, O Christ, death no longer hath dominion over those who die in holiness. So, we beseech Thee, give rest to Thy servants in Thy sanctuary and in Abraham’s bosom. Grant it to those, who from Adam until now have adored Thee with purity, to our fathers and brothers, to our kinsmen and friends, to all men who have lived by faith and passed on their road to Thee, by a thousand ways, and in all conditions, and make them worthy of the heavenly kingdom
The article relates they are going to set up different security measures for Seminarians who might go into rural areas. This really shows how Mexico has changed, in the past, the Seminarians might go into the rural country areas to help the poor and I’m sure were relatively safe. Now, there are dangerous elements in many parts of the country such as in the North where this happened. Sounds like the Seminary where he came from indeed was in the City of Chihuahua.
