Give It Your All

How much are you willing to give? Some make the ultimate sacrifice and give their very lives. Andrew Dung-Lac (1795-1839) was a priest and one of 117 saints martyred by beheading in Vietnam during persecutions there in the 19th century. Three U.S. archbishops returning from Vietnam in 1989 said, “The church in Vietnam is alive and vigorous, blessed with strong and faithful bishops, dedicated religious, and courageous and committed laypeople . . . The church in Vietnam is living out the gospel in a difficult and complex situation with remarkable persistence and strength.”
