This doesn't fit this thread exactly, except I need your prayers and the prayers of Our Lady Mary, Queen of All Saints.

We are getting horrible news from the Sudan, and tomorrow morning I will be leaving with several others for Kenya and then parts unknown. Please pray for the Church and for persecuted Christians. And please say a prayer for me and my confreres.

God bless you! I hope to be back with you here soon.

Why do you think it has been so difficult for the situation in Sudan to capture the interest of the West?

It's been going on in various places for years now! The media isn't interested in reporting on oppressed Christians. It's become very obvious to me. Islam aren't the only people who want to rid the planet of Christians.

Heavenly Father,

We humbly ask you to protect and to guide your servant, Elijah, in these horrible times when apostasy and scandal have rocked the Church and have affected so many of our priests. We ask that your loving hand protect faithful Elijah and grant him success in his mission and a safe return from danger.

Dear Father, especially now, let him continue to be an inspiration for so many and a wonderful example of your light and love shining within the world. We ask this in the name of Your Dear Son, Jesus Christ in union with Your Holy Spirit. Amen.

[Polycarp]

I was in contact with him too. I have not heard from him though.

[Domestic Church]

Glory be to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now, ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

"Prayer Ping for a priest in Kenya."

Consider it done.

[dansangel]

May you be blessed with God's protection and unending mercy. We ask that you be delivered from harm. We also ask for an end to the persecution of Christians and to guide the attackers away from their hatred and towards the Truth. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

[Cap'n Crunch]

We're with you Father! May Our Lady protect and comfort you!

Me too, and me neither. I hope to God he is safe and sound. I think about and pray for Father Elijah all the time, he is elderly and doing a young man's work.
