Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, is on fire

Have you heard from your family there yet AED?

 

Thankyou!!@@

 

Yes. Just now. They work at an international school. Ig is closed fof two days and they are told to stay home. So they are safe but I wish I could get them right now safely to USA!! Thanks for the prayers. The poor Catholics of Sri Lanka and all the people of Sri Lanka. This is a terrible thing.

 

Hope you are at peace now AED...I would have been a wreck! Holy Easter...and thank God!

Security forces inspect the St. Anthony's Shrine after an explosion hit St Anthony's Church in Kochchikade in Colombo



Sri Lanka's defence ministry has now ordered curfew with immediate effect 'until further notice', and the Sri Lankan government said it had shut down access to social media messaging services, sources say

The bombings targeted the luxury Cinnamon Grand, Shangri-La and Kingsbury hotels as well as St Anthony's Shrine in Colombo, all frequented by tourists.

Other blasts were reported at St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo, a majority-Catholic town, and at Zion Church in the eastern town of Batticalo.

Later in the afternoon, two died in a strike at a hotel near a zoo in the south of Colombo, before a suspected suicide bomber killed police officers in the suburb of Orugodawatta in the north of the capital.

Shantha Mayadunne and her daughter Nisanga, believed to have been a student in London, died just moments after sharing a picture of their Easter breakfast at the Shangri-La hotel.

A friend of the family told Gulf News: 'Nisanga was a very popular girl in college.

'Besides the fact that she was bright and smart, her mother Shantha Mayadume, a renowned chef, made her more popular in college. She was well respected and an inspirational chef for Sri Lankans.'

Describing the Cinnamon Grand bombing, a hotel manager said the attacker had registered the night before as Mohamed Azzam Mohamed.

The bomber was just about to be served when he set off the explosives which were strapped to his back, killing himself and numerous guests.

How terrible! Thank goodness they are safe. May the angels protect your family. God Bless.

 

Wow!! Absolutely mind-boggling. This has to be the most prophetic holy card ever.

More than two hundred people were killed and hundreds more injured in eight blasts that rocked churches and hotels in and just outside Sri Lanka's capital on Easter Sunday. (AP Photo)

 

Heartbreaking. The blood of Christian martyrs. Truly frightening.

 

Such a tragedy. Also such a sign of the age we are living in.

These things I command you, that you love one another. [18] If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you. [19] If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [20] Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

[21] But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me. [22] If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. [23] He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. [24] If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. [25] But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.

[26] But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. [27] And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.

 

Thank you Jo.

 

Thank you ETA

 

Yes. So thankful they are safe. Heart breaking for those families who lost loved ones. But so grateful to God for hearing my prayers and keeping them safe.

 

I can’t quit things about this...it was prophetic....

 

Just catching up on this thread. Thank God your son and his family are safe.

 

Awwwwww.God have mercy....

 

Someone in the comments section for that video said that the church in the picture which is on fire is not Notre Dame but St. Chantelle which is on the same island in the Seine as Notre Dame.
