    the colonel is already a "servant of God" and is open to become a Saint.
    Quick resume of the case: he was a military officer in the 70s who got kidnapped by the guerrilla. He was an engineer in explosions so they wanted to force him to teach them, how to craft bombs. He refused and was tortured \kept in a tiny cell for a year, and then murdered. He is considered a kind of martyr for enduring the tortures and refusing the help the terrorists craft explosives.
    the letters he managed to send to his children extol them to put away hatred and not-to seek revenge.
