It is almost three years since the Kandhamal riots in which many Christians were persecuted. One among the priests persecuted was Fr. Thomas Chellan, whose testimony is presented in the video above. It was a great shock for us when these terrible events happened, more so because many years ago we were greatly privileged to meet and know Fr. Chellan personally when he had stayed with us in Mumbai for some days.
I am presenting these stories right now, because we need to remember those who suffered for the sake of being Christians and we should never forget these events. May we all pray that such events may never take place again and that the mercy of the Lord to be bestowed upon those perpetrators of such violence. I also pray that the good Lord may bless the victims of this violence, so that all their wounds - psychological and spiritual may be healed and may they rejoice that the Lord in His wisdom chose them to undergo this pain for His sake.
