Vatican City, Nov 20, 2008 / 11:07 am (CNA).- Pope Benedict XVI has given the go-ahead for the beatification ceremonies of a group of 188 Japanese martyrs and the Cuban Br. Jose Olallo. The Japanese Catholics will be beatified on November 24 in Nagasaki and Br. Ollalo will be declared a Blessed on November 29 in Cuba.
The Japanese Martyrs
The Japanese martyrs were led by a priest named Fr. Peter Kibe Kasui, who was introduced to the faith by St. Francis Xavier’s group of Jesuit missionaries.
The Jesuits were so successful that the number of Christians in Japan grew to 400,000 in 50 years.

Lord Jesus Christ, I pray, if it be Your Will, let me live and die for You. Amen.
