24 Year Old Catholic Student Stops Knife Attack at French Playground | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Earlier this month, a 24 year old Catholic student in France helped stop a knife attack at a playground. The president of France is requesting that Henri D'Anselme be a special guest at the re-opening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, set for next year. Called "the hero with a backpack," D'Anselme helped stop a knife attack on a playground near the French Alps. 4 children and 2 adults were injured but are recovering and one suspect is in custody. The backpack hero, Henri D'Anselme, joins to discuss what he saw during the incident on the playground and why he decided to step in and try to stop it. This happened during his year-long pilgrimage to visit cathedrals in France. D'Anselme tells us more about his pilgrimage and where the idea for it came from. He shares more about his journey so far and what some of the highlights are. D'Anselme fills us in on his reaction when President Macron asked him to be present at the re-opening of Notre Dame. He explains what the reaction has been to his actions on that playground and protecting the children on social media. D'Anselme talks about how his Catholic faith has guided him so far and what he thinks God is teaching him and the world from his journey and actions in that playground. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
