Asia News has many articles on the Italian priest killed in Turkey on Sunday

Including this remembrance:

But who could be more harmless and unassuming than Father Andrea? I saw him two months ago in Iskenderun, at the See of the Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia. It was our monthly retreat and we talked about the Cross. He told us: “Often I ask myself: What am I doing here? And the words of John the Baptist would come to mind. ‘And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us’.”

“I live among these people so that Jesus can live among them through me. In the Middle East, Satan continues to destroy, remembering and loyal to the past. As it was at the time of Jesus, silence, humility, the simple life, acts of faith, miracles of charity, clear and defenceless witness, and the conscious offering of one’s life can rehabilitate the Middle East”
After a long pause, he took off his glasses letting them hang around his neck and spoke again, calmly, as if talking to himself. “I am convinced that in the end there are no two ways, only one way that leads to light through darkness, to life through the bitterness of death. Only by offering one’s flesh is salvation possible. The evil that stalks the world must be borne and pain must be shared till the end in one’s own flesh as Jesus did.” Not one word more, not one less.

After he spoke silence fell on the room; then he looked at his watch and got up quickly, apologised, picked up his small suitcase and left the room almost running. He didn’t want to miss the plane that would take him back to ‘his Trabzon’, where he was kneeling yesterday, praying in his church; where a bullet pierced his heart.

Suspect arrested.
