That sounds so beautiful. (And to me) a little on the emotional side -- just thinking about all the villages they must have walked through -- whether it was these martyrs or the ones from Tokyo that you mentioned. Do you have a pictures?

St. Paul Miki was in such intimate communion with Christ that, as he hung on a cross dying, he spoke: "I hope my blood will fall on my fellow man as a fruitful rain."

Yes, I do have pictures of it. I'll need to load them onto my York account. I'll try to do that later this morning. This was along almost an entire wall of the Franciscan Chapel Center in the Rippongi district of Tokyo. The first Sunday we were there, my friend located a Church for us, but Mass was in Japanese. My daughter understood what was being said during the sermon, but I didn't. My friend asked if it was OK that I didn't understand the Japanese during Mass, and I said it was fine, because I knew the parts of the Mass, it didn't matter what language they were using.

The Mass at the Franciscan Center was in English. It seems to be a gathering place for Westerners who are living in Tokyo. The chapel also has a gorgeous statue of Mary, who has Japanese features.
