Some of these martyrs were also children. We ask them to pray for consolation for their countrymen.
As more information is released about the tragic shooting- and knifing-spree at a preschool in Thailand, we turn to the martyrs of Songkhon to beseech their intercession.
At least 34 people were killed, nearly two dozen of them children, in a knife and gun attack in Utthai Sawan, at a preschool. The attacker was a former policeman who also killed himself and his family.
Some of the victims were as young as two and killed as they slept.
Saints and angels, pray for us
The martyrs of Songkhon are seven people who were killed in December 1940 by local police forces. Pope John Paul II beatified them in 1989. Three of the martyrs were just teenagers.
