Deranged Man Claims to be Jesus, Attacks Monks

Share:

A deranged man in Spain went on a rampage at a monastery, declaring himself to be Jesus before attacking a group of monks, which injured seven of them and left one dead.

As the New York Post reported, the man shouted, “I am Jesus Christ!” before going full throttle against the monks “with the intention of killing them.”

The incident occurred at the friary of Santo Espiritu del Monte. Two monks were outside the monastery, which may have helped to save their lives. The convent spoke about the attack and the impact it had on the Spanish monks.

“With the injuries on their bodies and the pain in their souls caused by what they have experienced [it] undoubtedly leaves a deep mark on people.”

The convent also added that they are praying for the man who caused the attack.

“We also pray that the aggressor may be aware of the damage and be able to rectify a behavior that is not at all typical of the human condition,” the statement read, according to the New York Post. “This event is also asking all of us brothers to be more attentive to prevent people who could cause damage of any kind from entering our fraternities, and thus to know how to take care of each other.”

According to News Central, the attacker used sticks and a bottle to harm the monks. Brother Angel Ramon was successful in getting the assailant to flee, and he called the police.

The man was later found and it was discovered that he has a history of drug abuse and psychiatric problems.

With incidents like these we must remember to pray against the dark spiritual forces that want to come against the people who have dedicated their lives to serving God.
