Please pray for the soul of Shahbaz Bhatti and for the countless Christians throughout the world: from Kabul to Cairo, from Riyadh to Beijing, and from London to Islamabad, who suffer for truth and justice.

Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus
On the 2nd of March Shahbaz Bhatti was killed in Pakistan. He was the only Christian and Catholic in the Pakistani Cabinet and had been a campaigner for the revocation of the blasphemy laws imposed upon the state of Pakistan during the 1980s. This excerpt from an interview for France24 displays his heroic courage and fortitude.

He was indeed a wonderful man and sure that he has gone to his eternal reward and is yet one more martyr to add to the list of Catholic saints.
