Bangalore, Apr 16: Archbishop of Bangalore Dr Bernard Moras has called for special prayers, fast and Eucharistic adoration for the ''quick and successful investigation” in the ghastly murder of Fr K J Thomas, Rector of St Peter’s Pontifical Seminary at Malleswaram, near the Yeshwanthpur police station, on April 1.
In a special appeal, the Archbishop has asked all priests, brothers, sisters and lay people to offer special prayers and Eucharistic adoration on any convenient day during the next week in all their parishes, institutions and religious communities to ensure that the ''assailants are brought to book” and that ''they may be converted and experience a change of heart.”
''It has been fortnight since the murder of Fr K J Thomas and we are yet to get over the shock and deep sorrow,” he said and pointed out that the police had formed a special team to investigate the murder but there was no progress in the investigation.
''The investigation might take some more time,” the Archbishop said and exhorted the priests, brothers, sisters and lay people to storm heavens ''for the just and successful investigation of this murder case.”
The text of the Archbishop’s message is as follows:
