For those who wants practice your english skills, this is a good and inspirational history. Enjoy it.
Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan
was a political prisoner of the Communist regime in Vietnam for thirteen years,
nine of which he spent in solitary confinement. His remarkable faith
sustained him during those long years when he would celebrate mass in secret
with three drops of wine in the palm of his hand and the host smuggled inside a
flashlight by his faithful. His spiritual writings, penned on the back of old
calendars, have spread throughout the world inspiring millions.
Speaking about Cardinal Nguyen Van Thuan, Pope John Paul II
said he was "a witness of the cross in the long years of imprisonment in
Vietnam. He has frequently recounted the realities and episodes from his
sufferings in prison, thus reinforcing us in the consoling certainty that when
everything crumbles around us, and perhaps even within us, Christ remains our
unfailing support.”
Salt an Light Television premiered "Road of Hope: The
Spiritual Journey of Cardinal Van Thuân" at the International Eucharistic
Congress held last month in Quebec.
