Indonesian Catholic Priest Killed
Right after the Mass, When the newspaper arrived, I was saddened to read the news about Fr. Franciskus Madhu's death. Well, the motive is not yet known as of the moment as the police are trying to find one. I will post also the news item from the inquired net concerning this matter. It saddened me because like any other priest, he offered himself for Christ and His church so that the community may celebrate the Paschal mystery. Practically, I am not saddened because he died, all of us has to prepare ourselves for that, but on the way/manner he died. Yes, of course, it is not greater than to what our Lord Jesus Christ has suffered. But to kill a servant of God, a priest, a man of God for whatever reason and even if the killer is not a Christian is something unhuman. Explicitly, the killer has to travel from Indonesia to Philippines to hunt down Fr. Madhu. This is my personal opinion based on the police report and the news that the assailant is from one of the island of Indonesia...
