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
