00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,520
Our Church celebrates
2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,240
the feast of Saint Andrew Kim and his companions
3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,800
on the 20th of September,
4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,400
a day when we reflect on the willingness
5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,160
to follow Jesus even in the midst of adversity.
6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,800
The Korean martyrs suffered greatly
7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,200
during the persecutions of the 1800s,
8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,760
when Korea rejected Western influence,
9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,320
including Christianity.
10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,800
Those who professed the Catholic faith
11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,280
were captured, tortured, and martyred.
12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,280
But, when they faced martyrdom,
13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,360
their gaze was not fixed on their suffering,
14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,640
but on where they were going,
15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,200
to the heavenly glory prepared for them
16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,320
in the mercy of our Lord.
17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,320
In the end, Saint Andrew Kim Taegon and 102 companions
18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,600
were canonised in 1984 by Pope John Paul II.
19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,240
Their witness shows us clearly what true martyrdom is,
20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,920
to keep our eyes fixed on the Lord at all times.
21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,360
We, too, have our own challenges and weaknesses.
22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,320
But the martyrs remind us
23
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:14,080
to keep seeking Jesus,
24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,320
who draws us into His Sacred Heart.
25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,600
This is the martyrdom of our own time,
26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,040
to endure trials with faith,
27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,680
keeping our eyes on the eternal reward
28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,760
that Christ has promised.
29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,760
And so, in our struggles and burdens,
30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,280
let us pray with the Korean martyrs,
31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,360
asking for their intercession,
32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760
that we may persevere in hope
33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,440
and remain faithful to Christ until the end.
34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,520
So let’s pray.
35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,760
성부와 성자와 성령의 이름으로 아멘
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,

무수한 박해 속에서도 굳건한 믿음으로
Amid countless persecutions,
39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,240
끝까지 복음을 증거한 순교자들의 용기를 본받아
they bore witness to the Gospel to the end with
the steadfast faith; may we imitate their courage
40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,240

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,720

May we love the poor and the weak,
43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,760

00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,200
서로 용서하고 화해함으로써
and forgive one another and live in reconciliation,
45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,880
하느님 나라를 이루게 하소서.
