A video, which shows the moment when a young man destroys a Crucifix after the afternoon mass in the church of Our Lady of Grace, to Alagoas countrysidein Brazil, made the rounds of social media. He talks about it ChurchPop.com.

As told by father Fabio Freitas to the Brazilian media, "it was a moment of agony and sadness that we never expected to experience, when we were surprised by a young man from the Sampaio neighborhood who suffered from mental problems since childhood and broke the image of Christ ".

The priest explained that the young man was always on the sidewalks of the church and did not pose any threat to the faithful or to the people who work there. He had even entered the church on other occasions and had never been aggressive.

"But yesterday, at the end of the celebration, everyone in the church was surprised by the young man's reaction and we were all perplexed, because we would never have expected such an event, especially after such a beautiful and moving mass," said the priest.

Father Freitas said that, at the end of the Mass, everyone was moved by the testimonies of people who were miraculously made through the intercession of Our Lady and, shortly after, the enemy used a poor young man to express his hatred and rejection of the works of God and the Church.

“He reacted violently, breaking the image of the crucifix. The devil acts like this and we must always be vigilant in order not to fall into these enemy traps ”, warned the priest.

"When he was detained by the faithful, we contacted the police to inform them of the incident and asked them to take him to the hospital," added the priest.

The parish priest said that the young man comes from a very humble family and that his mother and uncle went to church to tell him that the boy is very aggressive at home and has already broken many things.
