(Vatican Radio)  Pope Francis on Monday called on Christians to “overcome evil with good and hatred with love.”  In a tweet marking the Feast of Saint Stephen, the Church’s first martyr, the Pope said, “let us remember the martyrs of today and yesterday.” It was a theme the Holy Father picked up in his Angelus address to the thousands of pilgrims who had gathered in St. Peter’s Square on this, the day after Christmas.Here is Vatican Radio's translation of the Pope’s remarks at the Angelus 26 December 2016:Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!The joy of Christmas also fills our hearts today, as the liturgy has us celebrate the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the first martyr, inviting us to receive the witness that through his sacrifice he has left us.

Fifteen minutes and two gunshots later, Father Stanley was dead and the men fled the mission grounds.“How a 46-year-old priest from a small German farming commu...
