7 monks of Tibhirine ---

[Rosina Lila]

The booklet that I have is a retelling of a simple human tragedy viewed from
the eyes of brethren monks and written around the last letters that the monks
wrote.  The booklet says that, in fact, the monks  had months in which they
could have left, and that their own Father Superior, who wrote the booklet, went
there in person to urge them to leave reminding them that the Church needed
live working monks and not martyrs, of which the Catholic church is chock-full.
The Father Superior also writes about going to Algeria personally after the
beheadings to claim the bodies and to bury them.
