Thank you for your sympathy.From the article I get the impression he was a good man. That he was killed by a person he sheltered is genuinely sad.
I'm not a catholic anymore but I do hope his faith and kindness are being repayed in some better place.
Yes, those stories are horrible; the good guys dying soon. Especially dying in such a way. I rather have the scenario where the bad guys die soon (what to do, I am not yet such a Saint having no preferences).This is so heartbreaking for us Catholics and for all Christians .
Malgesini was the coordinator of a group to help people....In 2019, he was fined by local police for feeding people living under the portico of a former church.
Bishop Oscar Cantoni will lead a rosary for Malgesini ...He said “we are proud as a bishop and as a Church of a priest who gave his life for Jesus in the ‘least ones.’”
A diocesan statement said “in the face of this tragedy, the Church of Como is clinging to prayer for its priest Fr. Roberto and for the person who struck him to death.”
The local newspaper... quoted Luigi Nessi...“he was a person who lived the Gospel daily, in every moment of the day. An exceptional expression of our community.”
“He devoted his whole life to the least, he was aware of the risks he ran,” Bernasconi said. “The city and the world did not understand his mission.”
There were a couple of nuns and business owners I remember in my area that helped "the least" they paid with their lives in a similar manner. An all too common tragedy.Catholic priest stabbed to death in Italy known for his care of ‘the least’

Exactly. A life dedicated to the neighbor, to the other implies risks.I suspect he would be the first to forgive his attacker.
I suspect he would not be the first to forgive his attackerI suspect he would be the first to forgive his attacker.
Maybe, maybe not. We will never know. He did not have much time to forgive him thoughI am sure he has already forgiven him.
Forgiveness does not require time, after. It is given in advance.Maybe, maybe not. We will never know. He did not have much time to forgive him though
But it would not make him look any worse, if he did not forgive him, in my eyes
But we can't forgive what we don't know, when we never have experienced. Unless we are a Poorna Avatar = OmniscientForgiveness does not require time, after. It is given in advance.
Yes. #MeToo. But I won't hold my breathTragedies like this make me long for the God-made world to fully manifest.
Of course we can. There is no reason that we need to know what others might do to us, to forgive them in advance. And a Catholic priest would do that.But we can't forgive what we don't know, when we never have experienced. Unless we are a Poorna Avatar = Omniscient
There is a difference between "thinking/saying you can forgive" and "actually forgiving"Of course we can. There is no reason that we need to know what others might do to us, to forgive them in advance. And a Catholic priest would do that.
