As the people of St. Rita's Roman Catholic Church in Kaduna, Nigeria celebrated Holy Mass this morning, a suicide bomber drove his vehicle right through the church wall, where it exploded and killed at least seven people, injuring many more.
The corner of the church where this happened was the Choir; it appears that most of those injured and killed were choir singers and their children.
May these holy martyrs, our fellow choristers, be granted a place in the holy City, New Jerusalem.
May their Lord, who washed the feet of his disciples, wipe away all their tears and bind up their wounds.
May all who persevere in the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy and Undivided Trinity in the face of Islamic persecution be strengthened, and especially all choristers and church musicians.
May the prayer of Our Lord apply to those who do such things, as well as to those Christians who strike out in reprisal: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
In paradisum
