A cleric is undergoing a challenging recovery process after spending two weeks in an emergency room, one week in intensive care, and ten days in surgery. He joyfully reports having taken his first steps around the hospital bed. Should the Monday tests yield favorable results, he is expected to begin rehabilitation on Tuesday, which is a crucial step in regaining his strength.

In his statement, he expressed deep gratitude to all the faithful for their prayers and support, also thanking the late cleric for his intercession. The most touching aspect of this message is the cleric's deeply Christian attitude of forgiveness, as he urges everyone to pray for the “poor attacker” alongside him.

Readers are encouraged to continue praying for a swift return to full health for the cleric and for the conversion of the perpetrator of this tragic event.
