“Courage, go on. Cut me in as many pieces as you wish, and you will see that every piece is Catholic,” said Blessed Si, an 18-year-old Chinese whose right arm had been cut off because of his faith.
“I profess the religion of the Lord of heaven and earth, and I will never deny it…. If you allow me to live, good; if not, I die with pleasure,” said Lawrence Ngon, a Vietnamese layman.
“I am afraid to die, but I am more afraid to deny God,” said Son Cha-son, a 28-yearold Korean who was strangled after he spoke these decisive words.
“You may kill us, but you cannot kill the Church and you cannot kill God,” said Sr. Agnes Phila, 31, who was killed with rifles in Thailand.
“For God I will give many thousand lives if I had them,” said our own Lorenzo Ruiz.
