Prayer of Thanks - Father Tom Uzhunnalil

After enduring 18 months in captivity in Yemen,  The freed priest Father Tom Uzhunnalil returned to home to his native India. 

Father Tom was abducted in March last year when Islamic State terrorists attacked a home run by Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Aden. He was after negotiations by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oman. 

'There was loneliness during my 18 months of captivity. I had no fear of death [though] I faced tremendous uncertainty. What was going to happen to me? Still I never lost hope. Faith in God and prayers sustained me,' Father Tom said in a written statement given to journalists that in the end he was too tired to read out himself.
