(Joh 15:19-20) If
you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because
you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said to you:
The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me,
they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep
yours also.

ACN: Cardinal Kurt Koch: There are more martyrs today than in the early Church
Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of Aid to the Church in Need
International (ACN), reaffirmed the foundation’s commitment to
supporting persecuted and suffering Christians during the annual
pilgrimage for persecuted Christians held at Benedictine Einsiedeln
Abbey, organized by ACN Switzerland.
Reflecting on the reality of religious persecution in today’s world,
Cardinal Koch stressed that martyrdom is not merely a phenomenon of the
past but remains a lived reality for countless Christians around the
globe.
“Martyrdom truly belongs to the heart of Christianity. Today, there are
more martyrs than in the first centuries of Church history,” he said.
The President of ACN International also emphasized that persecuted Christians offer a powerful witness to Christian unity today.
“Dictators do not distinguish between Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans,
Anglicans, or Protestants,” he said, recalling Pope Francis‘s
expression, “the ecumenism of blood.” Said Cardinal Koch, “The blood
that has been shed unites Christians beyond their divisions.”
“Christians are not persecuted because they belong to a particular Church, but because of their faith in Christ,” he added.
OPINION: West’s mistake: turning a blind eye to the rise of a virtual caliphate
The West has made a fatal mistake in continuing to view Islamist
terrorism as strictly a military phenomenon, when in fact jihadism has
evolved into a cultural, digital and identity-based threat. Today, the
so-called Islamic State does not need to conquer territories; it is
enough for it to occupy our children’s screens. This dramatic warning
is contained in a recent study by the International Centre for
Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), which describes the emergence of a virtual
caliphate tailor-made for Gen Z.

Ascent excerpt: Step 7- "On Joy-Making Mourning"
24. Theology will not suit mourners, for it is
of a nature to dissolve their mourning. For the theologian is like one
who sits in a teacher's seat, whereas the mourner is like one who spends
his days on a dungheap and in rags. That is why David, so I think, although
he was a teacher and was wise, replied to those who questioned him when
he was mourning: 'How shall I sing the Lord's song in a strange land? (Ps
136:5)- that is to say, the land of passions.
