What Saint Sebastian and Saint Anthony of Padua Looked Like Before the Bombing
Edit: they have the Gather Hymnal but with traditional local instruments. Despite this, there is a great deal of piety, kneeling for Communion and a lot of religious. Negombo itself is 65% Catholic and known as the “Little Rome”. At the Shrine of Saint Anthony, Masses are filled to the point where people are sitting in the aisles and the narthex at the back of the Church. More photos of the aftermath. Cardinal Ranjith responded by cancelling Easter Mass.
Meanwhile, Cardinal Sarah isn’t shy about identifying those responsible.
ReplyDeleteSaint Anthony´s ceiling and roof were ripped apart indicating it must have been very

aftermath from 2 years ago the explosions were horizontal not top to bottom like Sri
Lanka. Ergo highly sophisticated professionals and not the suicide vest variety. Holy
Week began with burning of Notre Dame and ended with Sri Lanka were they connected?
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally Sri Lanka tradegy is precisely six months after the Pittsburg tragedy.
