Today we celebrate a whole big group of martyrs from Korea. They became Christians in an unusual way - one man came back to Korea from a trip and brought Christian books with him. Hundreds of people in Korea read these books and became Christians. Then the government found out about it, and a brutal persecution began. Thousands of Christians were martyred, including Andrew Kim and his companions. Andrew was the first priest ordained in Korea. When the persecution came, he boldly stated that he was a Christian and would be until he died.
The way these people became Christians was through books. In today's age, with computers and the internet, how can we share the love of God with other people? Ask God to show you how.

God, thanks for the wonderful story of these Christians who followed You due to books. St Andrew Kim and his friends, pray for us.
