Good Sunday Morning with Father André - May 21, 2023
SUNDAY May 21- 2023- YEAR 2- Episode# 64 Good Sunday Morning with Fr Andre on KNUS 710 am. Easter Season Special episode: "The Angels ranks and the War against the Faith on Earth: The Martyrdom of St. Christopher Magallanes and Companions during the Cristero War in Mexico in 1917-1927 and the story of Deborah Emanuel a Nigerian Christian who was burned for her faith in Christ a year ago
RADIO SHOW Description: On this Sunday, inspired by the feast of Saint Christopher Magallanes, priest and companions, martyrs during the Cristero war in Mexico between 1917 and 1927, Fr Andre explores the religious meaning of war against the faith. The ranks of the angels in Heaven, are called the Host of Heaven. Are there warrior angels? How do they operate? What keeps the faith going on earth? Are the martyrs part of the war that is going on between the Kingdom of Heaven and satan and his legions? Why do persecution still happen despite the trillions of Angles in Heaven? According to the Catholic Divine Office On-Line, “Saint Christopher (1869 – 1927) (also known as Saint Cristóbal Magallanes Jara) was a parish priest in his hometown of Totatiche, Jalisco, Mexico. On fire to capture the hearts of the local Huichol peoples, Saint Christopher opened schools, trade shops, and helped organize the town water supply. In 1917, Mexico edited its constitution and included anti-clerical language. A massive uprising ensued resulting in the Cristero War. Saint Christopher remained faithful during this turbulent time and, along with 21 other priests and three laymen, was killed for continuing to minister in the rural communities. These Cristero martyrs were canonized in 2000. [1][2]

Can Christianity today in the world survive with this much animosity sourrounding it? Can the leaders of the church prevent that Christians will not suffer from this magnitude of authorities which attacks over 350 million christians in the world? Looking at the one year anniversary of the stoning to death of young Deborah Emmanuel, in Nigeria last year on May 12, 2022, a young christian college student who was brutally killed accused by Muslim students with blasphemy, can Christianity today coexist in a society that allows the murder of people because of their faith?
