The terror of it

An elderly man left for dead by two jihadists at a church in the French city of Rouen has spoken of the terrifying ordeal for the first time.

Guy Coponet was forced by the killers to film the murder of 85-year-old Fr Jacques Hamel inside the church at Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.

"I had to film my friend Father Jacques's murder! I can't get over it," said the 87-year-old parishioner.

Mr Coponet was himself stabbed several times, including once in the throat.
He had to wait 45 minutes for help and told the Famille Chretienne (Christian Family) website he had been very lucky to survive.

"The emergency medic who treated me told me 'you had divine protection because the knife attacks missed your vital organs. But it really wasn't far away - it's like a miracle'."

He, his wife Janine, and three nuns had been attending Fr Hamel's service when the two Islamist militants burst into the church.

 Most of us will never know the terror of events like this and cannot even imagine the horror of it.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
