Morning Prayer - MONDAY, 06 Feb 2023

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - February 6, 2023 | Memorial of St. Paul Miki and Companions, Martyrs

"Blessed are those who suffer persecution for the sake of justice; the kingdom of heaven is theirs." - Gospel canticle

Paul Miki, a Japanese Jesuit, and his twenty-five companions (d. 1597) were martyred in Nagasaki, Japan. They were the first martyrs of East Asia to be canonized. They were killed simultaneously by being raised on crosses and then stabbed with spears. Their executioners were astounded upon seeing their joy at being associated to the Passion of Christ.

St. Paul Miki and companion martyrs, pray for us!
