Two Italian priests and a Canadian nun have been kidnapped by unidentified gunmen in Cameroon, Italy's foreign ministry and media reports say.

Gunmen ransacked the building in the north-west of the country before taking the hostages, Italy's Ansa agency said.

May God watch over them and comfort them.

Why am I not surprised?

Our Father in Heaven, I ask that you protect these three of your servants from the evil ones who would do them harm, in Jesus' Name.
