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.

Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsAppβs privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitorsβ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegramβs encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete wonβt remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, itβll stick around. Telegramβs competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
