Christ's Continuing Passion: 50,000 Christians Imprisoned in North Korea


As Christians relive the passion and death of our Lord during this Holy Week, it is good to remember that those who walk with Christ also walk the road to Calvary, and that the sufferings of Christ continue through time for His Mystical Body, the Church.  

In addition to torture and martyrdom occurring in most Islamic countries, the FIDES news agency reported this week that more than 50,000 of North Korea's 400,000 Christians are being held in prison camps.  During these solemn, holy days, let us remember all of our Korean Christian brothers and sisters in prayer, and thank God that the enemy can never extinguish from their hearts "the burning flame of faith."
