Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil’s Autobiography
(ANS – Bangalore – March
19)
– Salesian Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil’s autobiography recounts 557 days of terrorist captivity
in war-torn Yemen. The book is a classic testimonial to the truth that the Lord
is alive and hears our prayers, and that he will surely answer them in his own
good time. This book is a solid assurance that when for the Lord’s sake we face
trials on one hand, he will be there to strengthen us with grace on the other.
The book narrates Fr. Tom’s
life from childhood to his formation in the Salesian Congregation to his
missionary work in Yemen, and it gives a detailed account of his abduction and
imprisonment.
Fr. Tom writes: “My aim in
writing this book is in the least to present myself as extraordinary. However,
there are two reasons. First of all, to testify to everyone how God has been
extraordinarily kind to me. Secondly, since my release, I have been flooded
with invitations from many people who through their intensive prayers have made
my release possible. In spite of my best effort, I have not been able to oblige
all invitations. I want to thank all wonderful people and share with them my
experience in captivity and miraculous release.”
“A moving testimonial of
faith & a timely reminder of the power of prayer,” said Fr. Joyce
Thonikuzhiyil, SDB, superior of the Bangalore Province.
