Blessed
are those who suffer persecution for the sake of
justice;
the kingdom of heaven is
theirs. - Matthew 5:10

"In the midst of these torments,
which usually terrify others, I am, by the grace of God, full of joy and
gladness, because I am not alone - Christ is with me. Our Master bears the
whole weight of the cross, leaving me only the tiniest, last bit." ~ St Paul Le-Bao-Tinh, Martyr,
1843
