Iván de Vargas gives us a quick look at the reasons behind religious persecution in different parts of the world. As a journalist, he has been in contact with many persecuted Christians and has discovered that they are not ashamed of the cross, no matter what happens; they give witness to cross to the very end, even if they have to give their own life.

Archbishop Arthur Roche, Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of Sacraments, speaks to us about God's mercy and call to conversion. We have been wounded by sin and it is the Lord who comes to heal us and bring us salvation.

For Fr. Shane Sullivan, a diocesan Priest from Ireland, the strength to carry out his ministry is found in the Eucharist, where he discovers the mystery of God's presence among us. Being surrounded by other priests who are faithful to what God asks of them is also a source of strength and encouragement for him, as well as the reading of the Sacred Scriptures and fostering a filial relationship with Mary, the Mother of God and our Mother.
