Heavenly Father, we pray for Father Tom and mother Teresa sister whom killed by ISIS. We pray for people whom intended to join terrorist group to change their mind. We prayed for friends & relatives of ISIS to influence ISIS to repent. It is proverty, ignorance of helping needy & the lonely heart which drive them to ISIS ideology. Everyone has the "image of God" so we catholic should have the faith that we can change the World by loving those around us. ��

I am not sure about so much and what tomorrow holds; the tragedies and triumphs that will befall humanity---- am not a prophet or a preacher but one thing am for sure that Fr. Tom is in Heaven..... Partying with Angels....... you know, one thing about we Catholics... you do not have to kill an innocent man to go meet our God..... you only have to be willing to loss your soul because of Christ in order to gain it eternally...... Fr, Tom and many others victims of ISIL and other terrorists of any kind are in heaven now..... not somewhere else with 67 virgins..... sorry for being emotional.....
The Holy Face


O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become "the most abject of men, a man of sorrows", I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper. 


Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. The tears which well up abundantly in Thy sacred eyes appear to me as so many precious pearls that I love to gather up, in order to purchase the souls of poor sinners by means of their infinite value. 


O Jesus, whose adorable Face ravishes my heart, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy Divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven.


Amen.

And Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Let us pray for the conversion of those whose hearts are hardened to the sacredness of human life. May they, like Saul, experience the Light of Christ's Resurrection and become like St. Paul, evangelizers to their brethren converting all to the Love and Mercy of Christ Jesus. God knows what He is doing.

Yes, sure.... it's so sad to hear.....may the Lord comfort all the dear ones. Once again reminding us of the danger Christians, especially the missionaries are facing. We serve a risen saviour, He is very much alive. The great saints in the past gave their life for the cause of Christ with the same confidence and hope. May God Almighty raise up many more from around the globe to stand for the truth of the gospel of Christ. There is no hope in this world, the only hope is in Christ. Let all who love the Lord Jesus come on their knees to intercede for all the suffering Christians world-wide. With prayers. Nelson

May the Lord bless our brothers and sisters who have finished the race, who have fought the good fight, oh bless them Lord, bless them. Now we should agree with the Martyrs under the alter who cry out "They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Revelation 6:10, Lord I agree with your praying saints in heaven, bring ISIS ways on their heads, bring them down God, those who plot evil without a cause. Protect your saints Lord all over the world, let ISIS ways come on their own heads. Amen and Amen!!!

We who are Catholics and Christians will ask God to forgive the criminals who executed him. But God in his good time will scatter and punish those responsible, for God hears the blood of the innocent.

I cry for him and the many others who are executed out of hatred. May God turn the hearts of those who perpetrate such harm.
ted baldwin said…
Sad is for accidents and natural passings. This was calculated murder designed to shock and dishearten, to make you feel helpless. Anger is the appropriate response, and determination to bring these murderers to justice. This was not an execution, it was a war crime. The catholic church is not at war with Islam. Yet it is adherents of Islam that are murdering nuns and priests, and good catholic citizens. Does anyone reading this doubt that the Islamic soldiers responsible for this would not love to invade and destroy the Vatican and every piece of art within the walls??

Lord Jesus I pray for your intervention on these people of ISIS. I pray that there will be a 'PERMANENT FULL STOP' to every action by the ISIS. Lord, if you can make the mountain move, the blind see, the lame walk, what I ask of you is nothing too difficult for you, my dear Lord. If there is not end to this then...how more people will be crucified?

May the Almighty Father in heaven receive Fr. Tom and all the Sisters martyred by ISIS. Let's all offer a candle and a prayer for them. As we will also pray for those that did all these. Vengeance is not ours. Let's let our anger bleed from our hearts and find the strength from within us to offer Fr. Tom to God. He truly was a saint and by following Jesus to the cross, Fr. Tom has redeemed his persecutors. The bible taught us that whatever we have planted so we shall reap. ISIS will have its time, they will reap what they have sown.

It makes me more proud to be a Christian and the more ISIS does these acts, the more they show their fear of us.

LET US SHOW THEM THAT OUR GOD IS BIGGER THAN THEM... STAND UP CHRISTIANS AND PRAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE PERSECUTED AND THOSE THAT PERSECUTE THEM... PRAY FOR THOSE LIKE FR TOM AND THE MANY OTHERS THAT SUFFERED IN THEIR HANDS... BELIEVE THAT IN GOD'S TIME... ISIS WILL KNOW, THAT LOVING THE CHRISTIANS WAS BETTER THAT KILLING THEM...

When the Blessed Mother last appeared she said there would be war between nations that kill their unborn children. Now think about that, the killings now are very alike, just the inocent die with no defense of any kind. Prayer to the only true God of Love is all that will stop this as God can heal the debased mind that has traded truth for what is false. This thinking is spreading like a wild fire from dishonoring God by practicing things not of love. Pray for all including the enemy. Pray for the wicked as for we all will suffer as God turns His back on the wicked. Pray that they will exsperince the power of love that gives the greatest peace and joy possible and then may that hunger grow to heal their corruptted thinking. Amen

We don't live in a theocracy. I agree that vengeance is the lords, but our nation has to protect the non christians too, and that means, stopping them. Btw, christ had to die for us, that was different. We are allowed to protect ourselves, that is different than vengeance. If Americans die because we did nothing we can't look at our citizens who are unbelievers and say, well, we turned the other cheek. It does not work that way in a pluralistic society. Dont forget, God killed children during Passover to free his people. God created us, he is soveriegn, and has a right to wipe us out if he wants. Did you forget the flood? God is not in inhumane, he is just. He allowed king David to destroy his enemies.

I'm saddened by this news. These things should never happen, but it saddens me just as much to read ppl asking a person, a man such as Tom, to pray for them and to ask the same of Mary. Neither of them can hear you nor can they pray for you. They were both sinners saved by grace just like you and I. It's unbiblical to think or believe otherwise. There is no mediator between God and man except Christ Jesus (1 Tim 2:5). Mary was very special but it ends there, that's why the Bible doesn't include any writings regarding her role as anything except a sinner saved by grace just like you and I unless it's added in like some Bibles do.
