Do not lament me, my daughter, these are the red roses of courage.
Words that the saint and martyr spoke to one of her daughters who visited her in prison and saw patches of blood on her clothes. She was being held for the “crime” of being a Catholic and would eventually die in prison. One of the 130,000-300,000 Vietnamese martyrs for the Faith, an ongoing centuries long act of love for Christ, sadly forgotten here in the West.
Another brave lady whom I have never heard of. You find the most interesting saint stories, Don. Thank you
