Pope Francis received Roseline Hamel, the sister of the priest murdered in France at the hands of Islamic terrorists 7 years ago during a Mass, at the Vatican.
On July 26, 2016, French priest Jacques Hamel was killed by Islamic State terrorists who attacked his parish in the town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, in Normandy, France, while he was celebrating the Eucharist.
The 85-year-old priest tried to stop the assailants armed with knives, but the jihadists stabbed him and cut his throat next to the altar shouting “Allahu Akbar“, “God is great”, in Arabic. Seeing himself mortally wounded, Father Hamel shouted: “Get away, Satan!”
