Fr. Jacques Hamel Was Martyred by ISIS Four Years Ago Today
The Archbishop of Rouen, Dominique Lebrun revealed during the solemn funeral Mass celebrated in Rouen Cathedral for Fr. Hamel, that Fr. Hamel tried to push away his attackers with his feet, saying "Go away, Satan!" Fr. Jacques Hamel, we pray for your intercession. Help us to never yield when evil confronts us.
Prayer for the Persecuted Church
You who were once part of the Church on earth, you who were faithful servants of the Church Militant, you who suffered for the love of God, Pray for us.
In all ages, the Church is persecuted and hated. We pray, O Lord, through your holy Saints, that we may be blessed with the freedom to worship and adore you at all times. We pray that you may bless your Church throughout the world and me, personally, with your grace to persevere with love in the face of persecution just as You did on the Cross. Amen. Sts. Perpetua and Felicity pray for us.
