Lhe Pentecost massacre on June 5 in Nigeria sounds like a slap, but above all it draws attention to the risks faced by Christians in the world. An armed commando raids the Pentecostal Church of St. Francis Xavier, in the town of Owo, in Ondo State, during mass. About fifty people died, including women and children. We are in the south of the country; here a large part of the population is Christian. Christianity in Nigeria is the second religion after Islam, which prevails in the North.

New hopes are ignited! We thank God for the gift of vocations!

Moreover, it is not easy to explain that a Process is being held in order to proclaim (hopefully in a not too distant time!) the sanctity of a Christian; trials usually have other conclusions!
