Archbishop Raphael Cheenath who was there by the side of the beloved Priest who had been brutally attacked by Hindu Fundamentalists said "Fr. Bernard has been given the martyr's crown."
Mumbai (AsiaNews) - Fr. Bernard Digal has died after a slow agony of more than two months. The religious, brutally beaten by Hindu fundamentalists the night of August 25, has died two months later, this evening at 9:25 local time, from the serious injuries he suffered in the assault.

Please keep the family and friends of Fr. Bernard in your prayers. And thank the Lord Jesus for the life he lived.
