A Muslim Friend's Letter to Slain Father Ragheed

A Muslim Friend's Letter to Slain Father Ragheed is a beautiful letter written posthumously to Fr Ragheed who was martyred last week in Iraq, along with three deacons, as they were leaving the Divine Liturgy. All were dragged from their cars, shot, and left in the street.

May those who have suffered for Christ rest from the labors in the peace of Christ. May Light perpetual shine upon them.

This is deeply moving. Why do the best people get martyred?
