"Father Anton Luli was born in a small village called " LOHE " in north of Albania, June the year 1910,on the day of saint
Antonio. God called him to join the Society of Jesus,which received priestly ordination in 1946 Albania,their homeland had
lived the drama of World War II. Expel the invaders, the country was under the sway of a railway communist dictatorship. Many
priests were imprisoned and shot,before he got arrested he was a rector of the Jesuit and seminary in shkoder,albania. On
December 19, 1947 he was arrested and locked in a small cold room. This Christmas for him were a real ordeal of pain,but with
the strange peace that can only come from a faith intense and cordial. Father Anton Luli evoked the testimony of his priestly
life in the Classroom Paul VI to John Paul II in 1996,when 50 years of priestly ordination of Pope.
"Father Anton Luli was a Jesuit priest. He was arrested by the Communists,the ateists,just before Christmas in 1947,he
admits how could l forget, he writes in his memoirs: "On Christmas night,forced me to undress they hung me up with a rope
which passed under my armpits, I could barely touch the ground with the tip of my toes. After hanging there for hours,I felt
my body slowly failing me. The cold gradually crept upon my limbs and my heart was about to give in.I gave a desperate cry.My
torturers arrived, pulled me down, and kicked me all over,l launched a cry of agony,that night I experienced the real meaning
of the Cross. But along with this suffering I also had within me the comforting presence of the Lord Jesus. At times his
support was something I can only call extraordinary so great was the joy and comfort that Jesus communicated to me. That
night in that place and at the loneliness of that first ordeal, I experienced the true meaning of the incarnation and the
cross. He ended his memoirs, saying: "They released me in the 1989 amnesty. I was 79 years old. I have never felt resentment
for those who, humanly speaking,robbed me of my life. After my release, I happened to meet one of my torturers on the street.
I took pity on him and embraced him. There are thousands of priests who have been persecuted in their lives because of
Christ, but no one can wrench from our hearts our love for Jesus."
God allowed that this was the way to carry the love of God to men of Fr. Anton Luli for over 40 years of ministry. not easy
to live the priesthood in jail or a concentration camp.
After 17 years in prison rose to a forced labor camp in an area of marshland. After a brief release, he was arrested again in
1979 and sentenced to death: he had been accused of sabotage and propaganda against the government. Capital punishment was
commuted to 25 years in prison.
Father Anton Luli was released in 1989, after the second decade of imprisonment of 10 years he was 79 years old,came to his
brother ZEF LULI and brother's family in " MALI JUSHIT " zone of bushat,shkoder,north of Albania. It was for the first time
after he got released he came and lived to his brother, no one knew he was alive, hardly his brother could believe to se him
again "alive".Then later on he join for the second time after 44 years, the society of Jesus, Jesuit.
"This is my priestly experience in all these years, an experience certainly very particular regarding the many priests,but
certainly not unique,thousands are priests that their lives have suffered persecution because of the priesthood of
Christ,different experiences, but all united by love. The priest is above all a person who has and knows love,the priest is a
man who lives for love,to love Christ and to love everyone in it,in any situation in life,even giving their lives. "
He experienced trials, persecution, and imprisonment for Jesus' sake. And he used these things as a chance to tell the
GodsNews. Like Jesus,he forgave those who persecuted him,and like Jesus,he stood firm to the end. As a result,his story
encourages us and inspires us to respond to our trials and our sufferings as he did to his.
