Can you imagine answering your door and being assaulted by a psychotic person who stabs your neck with a pen, beats your head in and then drinks your blood? That's exactly what happened to Bishop Monroe of Kamloops, as he answered the rectory door on Friday evening. I know Kamloops well; my dad and my brother live there, and we go to Mass at the Cathedral every time we are visiting Kamloops. It is inconceivable that this could happen - priests answer the door for every person in need, and turn no one away. The priest who came to the Bishop's aid separated his right shoulder in the ensuing scuffle, and was quoted on the news as saying that right now, they are praying for forgiveness as well as the Bishop's recovery.
This whole story is so bizarre; one would never expect it to happen in one of your own Catholic neighbourhoods. Let's all pray for Bishop Monroe's recovery, as well as for the psychotic man who assaulted him.

Thanks for letting us know. Prayers are needed all around...
yeah, they even said on global news that the man had been at an emergency ward but left. apparently his family took him. he has been having religious delusions at the time it happened. prayers for the good bishop's recovery!
I hadn't posted on this because I didn't know what happened (no TV here!) but at our church we have been praying for his recovery. I hope the perp gets the help he needs, and gets taken off the streets before he hurts someone else.
How sad to hear of this tragic assault. To add injury to insult, or in this case insult to injury, I can only imagine how many anti-Catholics out there are formulating an inappropriate conclusion about the bishop and the crazed man.
I will remember the good bishop.
The world isn't just sick, it's getting worse.

I think it is beautiful that you not only asked us to pray for the Bishop, but for the aggressor as well.
They both need our prayers for different reasons.
God Bless you.
