Continuing Violence

During this week the Church is called to prayer for those persecuted for their faith. It is easy for us in America to gloss over the pain and suffering fellow Christians endure around the world. The Christian Persecution Blog has published a story from the Catholic World News.

Jakarta, Nov. 08 (AsiaNews) - New violence has flared in Indonesia, in the town where three girls from a Christian school were decapitated on October 29, the AsiaNews service reports.
Two more girls were shot in the head in the evening of November 8 in Poso, in central Sulawesi-- a province marred by months of bloodshed, as Muslims have clashed with Christians. The two girls are in critical condition in a local hospital.

It is time that we Christians make the rest of the country see the pain, suffering and turmoil our fellow brothers and sisters are facing. The main stream media will not.
