The massacre of the Church of Our Lady of Deliverance Syriac Catholic

In Baghdad, Iraq

Thoughts on the occasion of the approaching memory of the massacre of the Church of Our Lady of Deliverance. In which we lost our loved ones that cannot be forgotten.
Oh Lady of Deliverance Church of martyrs, is it good enough for my pen to mention the disaster of this tragic day? The day your walls were painted with blood, the day the beads from the rosary flew out of an old lady's praying hands. Or should I remember the people who spoke their last words before completing the riding of te bible. And what about the mother who lost her husband while he was embraacing her trying to protect her and the unborn in her womb from the bullet. His efforts were unsuccessful the bullet came out of his body and entered in the body of his pregnant wife as he said his last words!! What about the ones that were shot and beat to death,their blood flooded the church floor and alter.Oh my Lord!!So so sorry for your loss my beloved one and friends!!!What about that kid who kept crying for his father after his death ,standing in front of his coffin and kissing his picture.What memories do I have of this black day.On that day after blowing dust contaminated and mixed with the the smell of the blood of the innocent and gunpowder , began prayers and recited hymns.Noices from the mothers and wives screaming out of their thoats,filled with groans and lots of tears in the midst of this massacre.Here we remember,what should we ask for? Is it enough to just pat the backs and shoulders of these innocent kids who lost their parents? The inks has dried up from our pens, that wrote a lot about this massacre ... Our eyes are dry from all the tears ... Today our martyre, we remember and condemn the terrorist act by igniting a candle every day.Asking our Lord for you all to pray for us in heaven and inspire your families and loved ones for patience and peace .Glory and eternity to our martyrs in the massacre of the Church of Our Lady of Deliverance .. And thousands of greetings to the families of the the martyrs of the massacre and to each tear of sadness that flowed from their eyes .. Do not be sad because we have not and will not forget you .
Our Lady of salvation they have destroyed your church and your son's house and killed your children in front of you, same way your son was killed before your eyes. Help us our mother, as we pray and ask each day for no more pain and deat. Oh Lord, we come to you with the complaint that in the Church of Our Lady of Deliverance,the hands and bodies of theses victims were chopped,and children orphaned , women widowed and families displaced... the blood of innicent people flowed and washed the ground ..... Dear Lord help us because our hearts are really hurt..
