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.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoinβs creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for βan electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.β Each and every Bitcoin transaction thatβs ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. Thatβs by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins arenβt backed by the government or any issuing institution, and thereβs nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. βThe reason why itβs worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has valueβsame as gold,β says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
