The Mohammedans are again killing, raping and torturing Christians in Egypt, whose Christian population has suffered for so long with persecution by these Islamists. They are burning ancient churches to the ground and there is no one to help them.
All over the Middle East and in Islamic countries everywhere Catholics and other Christians are suffering terribly at the hand of Islam. In Iraq terrible persecutions- the murder of priests by mobs and the taking of Christians into slavery in the Sudan; all over those who love Christ are paying dearly for their faith, while we hear virtually nothing of this from our government, which lifts not a finger to help the persecuted! Is it any wonder?
O God of the persecuted, the tortured and the forgotten, bless and have mercy on those who suffer for Thy Name and for Thy Church. Give them many miracles of grace, escape and prosperity. Shield them under Thy Wings of healing and send them Thy Holy Angels to minister to them and grant them surcease from their troubles. Dear Mother of God, wrap them in Thy mantle of Love and protection. Make us aware of their sufferings and raise our consciousness to help those who are in need of our prayers and good efforts. Amen.
