Amazing story. The harvest is great in Japan, but the laborers are few. There are many traits of the Japanese that would seem to make them suitable to Christianity, and specifically Catholicism. Unfortunately, so many Japanese associate organized religion with certain Buddhist sects which are so heavily into politics and money, and with cults - so they have an overall negative view of religion. This makes them less receptive to evangelization.

Happy Easter to you.
Not much time today, I’m travelling tomorrow (it’s 00:30h now) visiting my mother. Thank you for being there and doing all that teaching. Jesus is alive, and He loves us. Let us rejoice and give Him praise with our lives!
