These are our persecuted brothers and sisters in the Catholic faith or at least, fellow Christians. But despite the threats, I believe that the Holy Spirit gives them courage and strength to practice their faith no matter what.

Yes brother Ferdinand. Our persecuted brethren in the Middle East are LIVING the true faith. They live in fear and constant threat from Islamic fundamentalists but they REMAINED in the CHURCH and embrace the possibility of MARTYRDOM. May we all remember them in our prayers.
