Int. 7:45 pm Late Night Life SAINTS OF THE WEEK Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang & Companions FEAST DAY: SEPTEMBER 20TH The evangelization of Korea began during the 17th century through a group of lay persons. A strong vital Christian community flourished there under lay leadership until missionaries arrived from the Paris Foreign Mission Society. During the terrible persecutions that occurred in the 19th century (in 1839, 1866, and 1867), one hundred and three members of the Christian community gave their lives as martyrs. Outstanding among these witnesses to the faith were the first Korean priest and pastor, Andrew Kim Taegon, and the lay apostle, Paul Chong Hasang. Among the other martyrs were a few bishops and priests, but for the most part they were lay people, men and women, married and unmarried, children, young people, and the elderly. All suffered greatly for the Faith and consecrated the rich beginnings of the Church of Korea with their blood as martyrs. Pope John Paul II, during his trip to Korea, canonized these martyrs on May 6, 1984, and inserted their feast into the Calendar of the Universal Church.

  • St. Simon Berneux Catholic.Net
    St. Simon Berneux Catholic.net The Korean Martyrs were the victims of religious persecution against Catholic Christians during the 19th century in Korea. At least 8,000 (as many as 10,000) adherents to the faith were killed during this period, 103 of whom were canonized en masse in May 1984. Paul Yun Ji-Chung and 123 companions were declared "Venerable" on February 7, 2014, and on August 16, 2014, they were beatified by Pope Francis during the Asian Youth Day in Gwanghwamun Plaza, Seoul, South Korea. There are further moves to beatify Catholics who were killed by communists for their faith in the 20th century during the Korean War. Background At the end of the 18th century Korea was a country ruled by the Joseon Dynasty. It was a society based on Confucianism with its hierarchical, class relationships. There was a small minority of privileged scholars and nobility while the majority were commoners paying taxes, providing labour and manning the military. Below them was the slave class. Even though it was scholars who first introduced the Gospel to Korea, it was the ordinary people who flocked to the new religion. The new believers called themselves "Chonju kyo udul" literally "friends of the teaching of God of Heaven". The term "friends" was the only term in the Confucian understanding of relationships which implied equality. History During the early 17th century, Christian literature written in Chinese was imported from China to Korea. On one of these occasions, around 1777, Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led educated Korean Christians to study.

  • Prayers to the Saints, Is a Collection of About 212 Prayers Dedicated to the Holy Ones of God
    By James H. Kurt Reviewed by Tannia E. Ortiz-Lopes (timewithtannia.tripod.com) James H. Kurt's book, Prayers to the Saints, is a collection of about 212 prayers dedicated to the holy ones of God. The book follows the Church calendar of the United States and includes prayers to known saints, others of recent canonization, and others not so well known. The prayers are written with an eloquent and poetic language describing the life of the saints and echoing the psalms of David. This glimpse into the lives of the saints will make you curious and will encourage you to further investigate the cause of their martyrdom and/or their holy lives. Now let us reflect on the meaning of prayer. According to dictionary.com, a prayer is a “spiritual communion with God or an object of worship, as in supplication, thanksgiving, adoration, or confession.” However, our Catholic dogma gives us a more profound meaning of prayer. The Catholic on-line encyclopedia, newadvent.org, defines prayer as “an act of the virtue of religion which consists in asking proper gifts or graces from God. This may be done by acts of praise and thanksgiving, but petition is the principal act of prayer.” Both definitions have a common purpose, “spiritual communion with God.” These petitions could be done by asking God directly or by seeking the assistance of the holy ones. As per newadvent.org, “we pray to the holy angels and to men not that God may learn our petition through them, but that by their prayers and merits our prayers may be efficacious.” I chose to showcase some saints and martyrs of the cause of Christ who gave their lives for the goodness of God kingdom in far away places such as Europe, Korea, Uganda, and Vietnam.

  • Archbishop Smith: 감사합니다
    Archbishop Smith: 감사합니다 감사합니다 That’s “thank you” in Korean. I’ve been saying that a lot these last number of days. That’s because it is the only thing I CAN say in the Korean language. Archbishop Richard W. Smith with Archbishop Hyginus Kim Hee-jong and Auxiliary Bishop Simon Ok Hyun-jjn. In point of fact, to say 감사합니다 is the reason I’ve travelled to Korea, from where I am writing this particular blog post. For over twenty years, the Archdiocese of Gwangju, in the southwestern part of the country, has been making priests available to care for the members of St. Jung Ha Sang Parish, the Korean Catholic community in Edmonton. For years the parish has been inviting me to visit this land, and finally I have been able to make the timing work, in coordination with Archbishop Kim Hee-jong, and his Auxiliary Bishop Ok Hyun-jjn. So, for this wonderful expression of solidarity and support towards our Korean parish and our local Church in general, I am here to bring the thanks of the clergy and lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Edmonton. Archbishop Smith with Archbishop John Hung Shan-chuan, S.V.D or Taiwan. My journey began with a two-day stopover in Taiwan to visit with a friend from university days of old. It was great to see him and to catch up on what has been happening in his life. It also afforded me the opportunity to pay a visit to the Archbishop of Taipei, Most Rev. John Hung Shan-Chuan, to learn about and see a bit of what is happening in that local Church, and also to thank him for the gift of one of his priests who served our Chinese parish of Mary Help of Christians for a few years.

  • The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ
    THE MOST HOLY BODY & BLOOD OF CHRIST JUNE 22, 2014 Dear Friends, I know you’ve all been wondering about your new parish priest, Fr. John Kim. As I mentioned to you some time back, he is very happy to be coming to CTK. Currently he is finalizing his work down at St. John’s in San Marcos. He came up for lunch last week to meet the staff and will be moving some of his things this week, and next. Many of you have looked him up on the internet and seen his energetic style in his catechetical presentations that are on line. So you are all in for a treat when he gets here. He was explaining to the staff at lunch this week that his strengths are adult catechesis, youth ministry, technology evangelization, and liturgy. Please make him welcome when he arrives! I was looking for a biography on Fr. John and came across his bio and letter of thanksgiving on the day of his ordina- tion back in 2010. I thought you’d enjoy reading it. Jungtack John Kim, 36, was born in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, to Giho and Buyoung Kim. He attended all secondary schools in South Korea, then entered Kunkuk University in Seoul in 1993 as a Korean Literature major. After military service in South Korea, he studied English in Australia, and eventually entered the University of Melbourne as an Information Systems major. While studying at UT Austin as an exchange program participant, he decided to enter Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving in 2000.

  • Homily for September 20, 20171 the First Native Korean Priest, Andrew Kim Taegon Was the Son of Christian Converts
    1 Homily for September 20, 20171 The first native Korean priest, Andrew Kim Taegon was the son of Christian converts. Following his baptism at the age of 15, Andrew traveled 2100 kilometres to the seminary in Macao, China. After six years, he managed to return to his country through Manchuria. That same year he crossed the Yellow Sea to Shanghai and was ordained a priest. Back home again, he was assigned to arrange for more missionaries to enter by a water route that would elude the border patrol. He was arrested, tortured, and finally beheaded at the Han River near Seoul, the capital at the age of 25. Andrew’s father Ignatius Kim, was martyred during the persecution of 1839, and was beatified in 1925. Paul Chong Hasang, a lay apostle and married man, also died in 1839 at age 45. Among the other martyrs in 1839 was Columba Kim, an unmarried woman of 26. She was put in prison, pierced with hot tools and seared with burning coals. She and her sister Agnes were disrobed and kept for two days in a cell with condemned criminals, but were not molested. After Columba complained about the indignity, no more women were subjected to it. The two were beheaded. Peter Ryou, a boy of 13, had his flesh so badly torn that he could pull off pieces and throw them at the judges. He was killed by strangulation. Protase Chong, a 41-year-old nobleman, apostatized under torture and was freed. Later he came back, confessed his faith and was tortured to death.
