J.M.J. On June 19, 1988, during the Marian Year, Pope John Paul II canonized Saints Andrew Dung-Lac and Companions. These 117 persons are sometimes known as the "Vietnamese Martyrs," but there were surely many thousands of other such martyrs.
Here is a replica of the banner used during that Canonization Mass. It depicts the Vietnamese Martyrs commemorated today.
May Our Blessed Lady inspire us to follow Christ her Divine Son without fear of death.
