Thoughts and Prayer for Today

"Daily Spiritual Journey "

"During mental prayer, it is well, at times to imagine that many insults and injuries are being heaped upon us, that misfortunes have befallen us, and then strive to train our heart to forgive and bear these things patiently, in imitation of out Savior. This is the way to acquire a strong spirit."
- St. Philip Neri

St. Andrew Kim

During the 17th century the Christian faith was brought to Korea through the zeal of lay persons. From the very beginning these Christians suffered terrible persecutions and many suffered martyrdom during the 19th century. Today's feast honors a group of 103 martyrs.

Notable of these were Andrew Kim Taegon, the first Korean priest, and the lay apostle, Paul Chong Hasang. Also among the Korean martyrs were three bishops and seven priests, but for the most part they were heroic laity, men and women, married and single of all ages.

They were canonized by Pope John Paul II on May 6, 1984.
