Fr. Patrick helps us make sense of this perennial question in the wake of the recent incident in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where a Catholic priest tragically died while celebrating Mass after the crucifix hanging behind him on the altar fell and crushed him.

Please join us in praying for the repose of Padre Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
