A Montreal priest who was stabbed as he celebrated morning mass says he hasn’t forgiven his attacker yet as he returned to the pulpit one week after the attack.
A Montreal priest who was stabbed as he celebrated morning mass says he hasn’t forgiven his attacker yet.
Following Friday’s mass, in which he thanked the community for their support, Grou told reporters that he is on the mend. A 26-year-old man from Montreal has been charged with attempted murder. The accused has been ordered to undergo an evaluation at a psychiatric hospital.“I’ve never seen him before. I do not think this person has anything personally against me,” he said.“On the contrary, I feel the person will need help and I’m sure he will find the help he needs,” Grou said. “I pray the Lord that he will assist him in this process.
The priest said it took a few moments before he realized he had suffered any wounds in the attack. He said the man stood up immediately after the attack and he followed suit.Grou said he thought, at the time, that it was a bad dream from which he would awake and continue delivering the mass as usual.
