Pray with us for the Persecuted Church!
"I am in prison," says the Lord, "and you are not visiting me."(Matthew 25:43)
Priests are being arrested and sometimes shot in China and Cuba. Over 200 Catholic priests and bishops and thousands of Catholic and Protestant laity currently suffer in the Chinese slave-labor camps for their loyalty to Christ.
Christians who testify to their faith in Iran or Saudi Arabia may be put to death for blasphemy. Mobs have wiped out whole villages of Christians in Pakistan. Believers are forbidden to buy goods or own property in Somalia.
The "post-communist" government of Romania refuses to return the church buildings and other properties confiscated by the communists in 1948, to the Catholic Church of Byzantine Rite (the Greek-Catholic Church).
The cardinal, the bishops, the priests and tens of thousands of Catholic believers celebrate open air Masses every Sunday, being exposed to rain, snow and sub-freezing temperatures.
It is time to shatter the silence.
Pray with us every Sunday, the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.
