We praise and thank the Lord for the safe release of Fr. Michael Sinnott, 79-year old Irish missionary of the Society of St. Columban kidnapped a month ago in Pagadian City, Southern Philippines. He was released by his captors (still unknown) yesterday. In these video clips gathered from a Philippine news channel, some details of his release are given. The first clip shows the early moments of his release. In the second clip Fr. Sinnott expresses that he feels no hatred for his abductors.While we take inspiration in the resilience and witness of Fr. Michael, let us also pray for the conversion of the people who promote this "kind of business" in the country and elsewhere.
