The news: According to a Tamil-language report from Tamilwin (sourced via Google News — Tamil Church), the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka has stated that it continues to expect satisfactory judgments in the legal cases related to the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings, which killed over 260 people across churches and hotels. Church leadership remains engaged in the legal process years after the attacks.
Why it matters for church leaders: For Indian church leaders — particularly in Tamil Nadu and other states with close ties to Sri Lanka — this is a sobering reminder of what it means to pastor a congregation through long-term trauma and an unresolved search for justice. It also speaks to the importance of the church staying engaged with legal processes, not just pastoral ones, when communities are harmed.
The takeaway: Pray specifically this week for the Sri Lankan Catholic Church's leadership and for the families still waiting for justice after the Easter 2019 attacks.
