Martyrs

More young Christian women abducted, raped in Iraq

More Catholic church attacks across Asia

Fr Paulos Eskandar-Decapitated Syrian-Orthodox priest laid to rest in Mosul

He was abducted last Monday by an unknown Islamic group which posted a
hefty ransom of 0-350,000, the Assyrian International News Agency(AINA) reported. The group also demanded that signs be posted on his church apologising for the Pope's Regensburg remarks as a pre-condition for negotiations.

Prayers for the repose of his soul and all souls that have died proclaiming Christ's Truth: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
