MASS SERVED IN ZAGREB TO COMMEMORATE KILLED SOLDIERS

ZAGREB, Nov 2 (Hina) - A concelebrating Mass was served in Zagreb on Saturday on occasion of All Saints' Day, to pay homage to soldiers killed during the war in Croatia. The service was conducted by auxiliary Zagreb bishop Msgr. Juraj Jezerinac. Present were families of killed soldiers, high officials of the Croatian armed force and police. Expressing thanks to all soldiers killed in the Homeland War, Msgr. Jezerinac said that they had given their lives for truth and freedom, for the love towards their homeland. They had been the victims of evil in the world, he said. We do not want to sow evil, but to actively contribute to the spiritual promotion of the heart and mind and to counteract this civilization of evil and death with the civilization of good and life, Jezerinac said. "Their lives and their deaths speak to us loudly that we have to fight against the dark world and for the creation of a new world, and our thanks to them becomes a permanent prayer," Jezerinac said.
