Remembering Servant of God Francis Hong Yong-hoποΈ
Dear brothers and sisters,
Iβd like to share the story of Servant of God Bishop Francis Hong Yong-ho, the first bishop of Pyongyang, North Korea.
Appointed in 1944, he was arrested by the regime in 1949 and never seen again. The Vatican never replaced him, keeping the see of Pyongyang vacant as a sign of solidarity with the persecuted Church.
In 2014, Pope Francis declared him a Servant of God, opening the path toward sainthood. He is widely believed to have died a martyr for the faith.
Though much about his final years remains unknown, his silent witness continues to inspire. Let us pray for his beatification and for all who still suffer for Christ in silence.
πβBe faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.β (Revelation 2:10)
πServant of God Francis Hong Yong-ho, pray for us.

Durov said on his Telegram channel today that the two and a half year blockchain and crypto project has been put to sleep. Ironically, after leaving Russia because the government wanted his encryption keys to his social media firm, Durovβs cryptocurrency idea lost steam because of a U.S. court. βThe technology we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. TON had the potential to revolutionize how people store and transfer funds and information,β he wrote on his channel. βUnfortunately, a U.S. court stopped TON from happening.β
