"[A]n extraordinary event for the Church in Japan": 188 Japanese Martyrs Closer to Beatification.
They will not be the first group of Japanese martyrs so honored:I visited their shrine two years before becoming a Catholic. In their beautiful and holy city, I also visited the rebuilt Urakami Cathedral, then the largest church in Asia, which was used as the target for the A-bomb on August 9, 1945. It is said that more Japanese Catholics died that day than in 400 years of savage persecution.
Κύριε, ελέησον, Χριστέ, ελέησον, Κύριε, ελέησον.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
