Prayers for Father Murad

Prayers for Father Murad


   I am asking that we offer up prayers, rosary, mass, etc... for Father Murad who was beheaded in Syria by the Jabhat al-Nusra jihadi group on Sunday. Below is the Press release from the Vatican. Please also pray for all the Priests, Religious and Catholics. who because of their faith are in jeopardy of being attack or murdered for their beliefs. 

Until tomorrow, God Bless, and may we be able to practice and stand up for the Catholic Faith and do so all around the world. 


The Vatican press release reads:
On Sunday, June 23 the Syrian priest François Murad was killed in Gassanieh, in northern Syria, in the convent of the Custody of the Holy Land where he had taken refuge. This is confirmed by a statement of the Custos of the Holy Land sent to Fides Agency. The circumstances of the death are not fully understood. According to local sources, the monastery where Fr. Murad was staying was attacked by militants linked to the jihadi group Jabhat al-Nusra.
Father François, 49, had taken the first steps in the religious life with the Franciscan Friars of the Custody of the Holy Land, and with them he continued to share close bonds of spiritual friendship. After being ordained a priest he had started the construction of a coenobitic monastery dedicated to St. Simon Stylites in the village of Gassanieh.After the start of the Civil War, the monastery of St. Simon had been bombed and Fr. Murad had moved to the convent of the Custody for safety reasons and to give support to the remaining few, along with another religious and nuns of the Rosary.

  1. Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
    trespass against us, and lead us not in to temptation but deliver us from evel. Amen

  2. Father Murad looks like my brother and I am praying for his soul and all the others to God for heaven for them and to convert the evil in their belief.

  3. I pray to Father Murad to convert the people who want blood and horror. Pray every day through the communion of Saints to Blessed Father Murad. If he isn't in heaven, then who could be?
