Father Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari, a Catholic priest in Guayaquil, Ecuador, died Saturday after a large wooden crucifix fell from the wall behind the altar and struck him while he was celebrating Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church.
The Mass was being livestreamed, and the accident was captured on video. The Archdiocese of Guayaquil confirmed the priest’s death and expressed condolences to his family and religious community.
The cause of the crucifix’s fall has not been publicly established.Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
Nothing is a coincidence..!
The film on the right is Century Fox, a US production from 1976
The film’s plot is about the death of a priest investigating Satanists after a prophecy..
Location: Ecuador, this priest is researching the Jesuits and is claimed to be the devil. The same fate as in the 1976 film is experienced.
The last sermon of Father Patricio Sánchez came to light, delivered just minutes before he died crushed by a wooden Christ statue in Guayaquil.
In an almost prophetic tone, the parish priest reflected: “we’re all going to die,” while questioning the time we squander on vain things.
