LISTEN | Morning Prayer - September 19, 2023 | Memorial of Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Priest and Paul Chong Hasang and their Companions, Martyrs

Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his glory?…Luke 24:26

The death of the martyrs is similar to the death of Christ on the Cross because like His, theirs has become the beginning of new life. This new life was manifested not only in themselves – in those who underwent death for Christ – but it was also extended to others. It became the leaven of the Church as the living community of disciples and witnesses to Jesus Christ “The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians”: this phrase from the first centuries of Christianity is confirmed before our eyes.”…St Pope John Paul on the occasion of the Canonisation of the Korean Martyrs (1984)
