By Walter Sanchez Silva – Sister Gloria Cecilia Narváez Argoti, a missionary who was abducted in Mali in February 2017 and held for nearly five years, posted Sunday on Twitter thanking God and all those who made her liberation possible.
In her October 17 message, Sr Gloria said, “I want to lift up my thanksgiving to God on this day because I have felt him close to me during this captivity.”
“My thanks to His Holiness Pope Francis, to the Italian government, to the Italian intelligence agencies, to the Malian authorities, to Cardinal Zerbo,” the nun said.
After she was released, Jean Cardinal Zerbo of Bamako told AFP, “We prayed a lot for her release. I thank the Malian authorities and the people of goodwill which made this release possible.”
