Several years ago I discovered the books and booklets of the Catholic Truth Society, I have since found them to be a treasure trove. They are excellent for growing in the faith, learning our history, and finding out about saints and Martyrs. Most of the booklets I have read today have a B in the booklet number indicating that it is part of the biography series. I stumbled across the name of this volume when doing research for Martyrs of Korea by Richard Rutt. I discovered this list of books about Martyrs from the Catholic Truth Society:

Martyrs of Nagasaki - Lucian Hunt 

Martyrs of Uganda - Joanna Bogle   

Martyrs of Vietnam - Bob Bloomfield  

Martyrs of Korea - Richard Rutt

Forty Martyrs of England and Wales - James Walsh

The Southwark Martyrs – M. Clifton

…

There is also a separate series called 20th Century Martyrs that includes:

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose: Resistance to the Nazis - Helena Scott and Ethel Tolansky
Johann Gruber & Jacques Bunel Victims of the Nazis - Helena Scott and Ethel Tolansky
Maximilian Kolbe, F. Jagerstatter, K. Leisner, R. Mayer: Victims of the Nazis - Franz Jagerstatter
Edith Stein, Marcel Callo, Titus Brandsma: Victims of the Nazis – Matthew Monk
Saint Maria Goretti: Teenage Martyr for Chastity - Glynn MacNiven-Johnston
The Atlas Martyrs – Jean Olwen Maynard
Jerzy Popieluszko Victim of Communism - Grazyna Sikorski
Isidore Bankanja - Jean Maynard
Gianna Molla - Jean Olwen Maynard

Oscar Romero: Martyr for Faith - Ashley Beck

Pedro Poveda - Bernadette Lally

Marcel Callo Worker For Christ - M.N.L. Couve de Murville

The Gypsy Saint 'El Pele' Cerefino Jimenez Malla - Jean Maynard

...

But have had a hard time tracking them down. I am thankful I was finally found a copy of this volume at a reasonable price. The description on the back of the booklet is:

“The twenty-fourth of November is dedicated in the Calendar of the Universal Church to St Andrew Dung Lac and companions. Who they are and what they did is little known by English speakers, so Bob Bloomfield has searched the sources and here presents his results.”

The chapters in this small volume are:

Death or Denial?

Infiltration

St Andrew Dung Lac

     Under Arrest

     Corporal Torture

St Jean-Theophane Venard

     Mandarin Power

     Day of Execution

     Therese's Admiration

     Man's Inhumanity to Man

     Still Unsettled

Selected Bibliography

List of Martyrs from Vietnam Canonized 19 June 1988

The list of martyrs is broken into the following sections:

Missions Etrangeres (Paris)

Dominicans

Vietnamese Priests

Vietnamese laity

The list contains the name and date of Martyrdom. The volume begins with this quote:

“The age of martyrs, as of miracles, never ceases. Martyrdom is a perpetual note upon the mystical body, which has the stigmata of Jesus ever fresh upon it.”

Cardinal Wiseman (1802- 1865)

This was a very moving and powerful volume. It is not an easy read. Some of the descriptions of the tortures and methods of execution that were used are hard to read about. But it is also inspiring to read about the deep faith and devotion of these fellow Catholics. And how they lived and died for their faith. I highlighted numerous passages while reading this volume, some of them are:

“On 19 June 1988 Pope John Paul II canonised 117 people, collectively known as the martyrs of Vietnam. They were of different nationalities and had died at different times. There were 96 Vietnamese, 10 French and 11 Spanish. All had been condemned by Vietnamese tribunals for having declared their Christian faith. They were a small part of that great band of 130,000 martyrs who were tortured and murdered in Vietnam during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They are remembered throughout the Catholic Church each year on 24 November.”

“Not for the squeamish is the catalogue of tortures systematically employed by the captors of the martyrs. Of all the 117 saints, 75 were decapitated, 22 were garotted, six were burned alive, nine were tortured and died in prison, and five were slowly dismembered and cut to little pieces. Before merciful death brought final relief the saints were subjected to hideous indignities, horrific tortures, ingenious and obscene to the point of disbelief.”

“Later, we shall see in more detail how two of the 117 martyrs conducted themselves throughout their torments. They are Andrew Dung Lac, a native-born Vietnamese Catholic priest, and Jean-Theophane Venard, a French priest sent to Vietnam by the Foreign Missionaries organisation in Paris.”

“The trouble with missionaries is that they are not afraid of death. Nor are they afraid of torture. If you kill one, another comes along to take his or her place in the field. You cannot scare off a missionary who believes that martyrdom is a vocation,

culminating in death as the supreme victory.”

“This is not, however, a treatise concerning itself with the detail of economic and political matters; but a report on what happened to a very large number of Christians in Vietnam, then called Tonkin, in the 1800s. It makes painful reading. The more recent tragedies in that suffering country are not for discussion here; but the scars from all that agony are still plainly visible to anyone who cares to look.”

“Not everyone approves of missionaries. There were, and are, those who feel that if a priest or nun or lay Catholic working m an overseas mission is killed or tortured they should not have been there in the first place.”

“In spite of all the difficulties Father Andrew remained calm and dignified. He was very tidy in his appearance, neat and modest. He was soft spoken and set a good example in his respect for his fellow man. He gave a lead in his stringent approach to fasting - on Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week without fail, all the year round. He regarded the sacrament of confession as vitally important and he exhorted his parishioners to take full advantage of its benefits.”

“In spite of these exhortations Father Andrew refused to be moved. He referred to the Acts of the Apostles and said. 'Dear brothers and sisters, look at St Peter who was twice saved from execution, thanks to his church's prayers. Then on the third arrest St Peter decided to pray for God's will to happen. The same thing seems to be happening to me now. You have prayed for me and used all means to bail me out from prison twice. I am now arrested and persecuted for the third time in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I think this is our Lord's will for me to share with him the passion and the cross.'”

“On the day of execution the condemned priests were dressed in long, black cassocks as if preparing for the celebration of Mass. They prayed all the way to the place where they were to meet their deaths. Father Thi, 76-years old, had become weak and ill and had to be carried by a soldier. Rather pointlessly they were offered food and water. Father Thi could not manage to consume anything; but Father

Andrew accepted some small pieces of sugar cane.”

“Well, one day, when Theophane was about eight and a voracious reader he saw in a magazine titled Annals of the Propagation of the Faith a report of the death of the missionary Father Jean –Charles Cornay, who had been beheaded in Tonkin (Vietnam) on 20 September 1837. Apparently his body had been dismembered as well. Theophane was so moved by this story that he told his family, ‘And I too, I want to go to Tonkin. And I too, I want to be a martyr.'”

“Eventually, in February l 854, Father Theophane Venard received his orders to proceed to his ultimate destination, the western di strict of Tonkin. He knew this was a dangerous area for priests, 'where persecution is most alive'. He knew there was a price on the head of every missionary and when one was found he could end up beaten, tortured and dead.”

“One of the mandarins dealing with the case was unhappy about the situation. He realised that this prisoner was someone special. Theophane, who was still allowed to write and to receive letters, told his family about this mandarin. He said, 'This man, like Pilate, protested loudly against taking innocent blood and declared that this sin and the odium of it  would fall on the heads of the captors.' This same mandarin claimed that he kept the prisoners only because he did not dare to let them go for fear of the reaction of his colleagues.”

“If there is any such thing as a popular prisoner it was Theophane. His dark good looks, his cheerful manner, his courage, were all greatly admired by guards, officials and the populace at large. Someone said, 'He doesn't look afraid. It's as if he was going to a feast.' Another said, 'He is so young to die.' He was thirty-two years of age.”

“The news of Theophane's death did not reach France until the end of December 1861. The Bishop of Poitiers held a Feast in his honour which was not a sad occasion; but a celebration of Theophane's martyrdom. But the fervour of the

Bishop's sermon had the congregation in tears.”

“Apart from the ill-treatment of individuals there were occasional mass murders in nineteenth century Vietnam. In 1885 there was a fearful attack covering the whole of Vietnam. In the Tonkin mission 163 churches were burned, 4,799 Catholics were killed and 1, 182 died of 'hunger and misery'.”

“What is interesting is that although the Vietnamese authorities relied so strongly on torture to get their own way, they never tortured Theophane Venard. Him, they tried to persuade with words. Words too, from the highest in the land. But apart from being caged and chained Father Venard stayed in one piece until the sword blows fell. What did his captors see in him?”

“According to the latest information received there are today ten dioceses in the North and fifteen in the South, with a total of some six million Catholics in Vietnam. This is despite the fact that there have been continuing attempts to suppress Christianity.”

I hope those quotes give you a feel for this volume. It was a very powerful read and one I was immensely happy to have finally tracked down. It was inspiring to read of these stories about these martyrs and their witness. At the end of the volume after the bibliography is this statement:

“Lady Herbert of Lea, who translated the first biography of Theophane Venard (see above), helped to found the Catholic Truth Society, with funds and accommodation for meetings. The first meeting of the CTS was held at her home in Belgravia on Guy Fawkes Day, 5 November 1884. The second Bishop of Salford, Herbert Vaughan, took the chair. He was later to become Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster.”

This little snippet about the founding of the Catholic Truth Society was an interesting titbit in this volume. This was an excellent little read. It is a small volume so it gives a quick and concise overview. It does leave the reader wanting more, about these saints and the time they lived in. It is well written and easily accessible. It would be a great introduction for any Catholic. Another great and valuable read from the CTS, one I can easily recommend if you can lay your hands on it.

As of the reading of this book over the last few years I have read over 385 volumes from the Catholic Truth Society. I stumbled upon them while doing research on an author, and have been hooked ever since. This is the fifteenth Stations or Way of the Cross from the CTS I have read. I try and pray a Stations each day during Lent, and each Friday the rest of the year. This is one I I know I will return to occasionally, I was there was an eBook to have on me at all times. This is one of only a Few books in the CTS Children's Books I have read, but I will be tracking down more.

The description of this book is:

 

“The Way of the Cross

A book to help children learn to meditate on the Passion of Jesus. Beautifully illustrated and in simple language, this book is a wonderful way of introducing children to the prayers of the church.

(Read with child aged 7; independent reading from age 8-9).”

Another description states:

“This beautiful book will help children to learn to meditate on the Passion of Jesus. With beautiful illustrations and colourful text, children will learn the meaning of the Way of the Cross in their own lives. It also tells the story of Holy Week and explains the Way of the Cross.

This beautiful book will help children to learn to meditate on the Passion of Jesus. In child-friendly language, it starts by telling the story of Holy Week, beginning with Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and ending with his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. It proceeds to explain the origins of the "way of the cross", what it means, how to pray it, and how that affects our relationship with Jesus.

The Stations of the Cross follow, with colourful text and beautiful illustrations that help children to meditate on each station. Each station includes a child-friendly prayer that helps children to understand the meaning of the Way of the Cross in their own lives. This book is a wonderful way of introducing children to not only Jesus' death and Resurrection, but to praying the Stations of the Cross at Lent and throughout the year.”

The sections in this book are:

Holy Week

Where the way of the Cross comes from

In the hope of the Resurrection

Jesus invites you to follow him

For you!

How to pray the way of the Cross

1st Station Jesus is condemned to death 

2nd Station Jesus carries his cross 

3rd Station Jesus falls for the first time 

4th Station Jesus meets his mother, Mary 

5th Station Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry his cross 

6th Station Veronica wipes the face of Jesus 

7th Station Jesus falls the second time 

8th Station Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem 

9th Station Jesus falls for the third time 

10th Station Jesus is stripped of his clothes 

11th Station Jesus is nailed to the cross 1

2th Station Jesus dies on the cross 

13th Station Jesus is taken down from the Cross 

14th Station Jesus is laid in the tomb

15th Station Jesus rises from the dead

A sample station is:

“Jesus falls for the third time

I tell you most solemnly, unless a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies, it remains a single grain; but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.

John 12:24

Three times Peter denied Jesus. Three times Jesus gave Peter his blessing.

Three times Jesus falls under the weight of his cross.

Three times he stands up again.

His strength fails him, but not his will. What a lesson in courage he teaches us!

Out of love for us, he goes to the end of the journey.

Three days later, he rises from death.

In spite of all the times I fall, Lord, I know you always love me.

Thank you, Jesus, for lifting me up again and giving me the joy of your forgiveness through the sacrament of Reconciliation.”

I picked this up just to give a read and pray through it once. I picked up the hardback edition. I was surprised how much I loved praying this stations. CTS has both a hard back and softcover editions, and Magnificat has a North American edition as well. The illustrations are fun. The colours bright and vibrant. This is one of several books by Juliette available from the Catholic Truth Society, and there appears to be editions in French and maybe even Spanish of many of her children’s books. It looks like the French and English editions were published originally both in 2006.

We enjoyed it so much we donated the copy we tracked down to the School Library, the primary school our children have attended has a resource section for the teachers and we thought this would be a wonderful addition. I hope the sample station give you a feel for this volume. This is another excellent Stations of the Cross from the Catholic Truth Society. I am very thankful I picked it up and know it is one I will use often. A great resource I can easily recommend for church, home, school, or small group use.

This book is another great read in the Hunt for Jack Reacher Series. OA few years ago I have read all of the Jack Reacher stories and all of the Hunt for Jack Reacher stories as well that were available at the time. Since then I have been reading them as they release. The Child brothers are releasing 1 book a year and Capri is releasing two. I am also now reading one of the other approved spin off series, the Reacher Experiment. This will be the 56th Reacher story I have read. It is a good read. But it feels like more of stretch than some of the others. The next in this series have already been announced. 

First, I read the 29 Jack Reacher Novels and short stories by Lee Child, and now Lee and Andrew Child. And then I read all the books in this series. This is the eighteenth novel in the Hunt for Reacher Series, and the twenty-first story featuring Otto. Otto still does not have a replacement partner at the beginning of this assignment. The story starts with her chasing down an old lead in Key West, but soon finds some clues and sources that might have a lot more information, but will it be worth the risk. 

Otto has Gaspar in the wings helping out as much as he can. He does not trust Finlay or Cooper but is helping Otto. The source book for this volume was Lee Child’s Tripwire. The description of this volume is:

“FBI Special Agent Kim Otto finally caught a break in the Hunt for Jack Reacher.

When she discovers a fresh lead in Reacher's old banking records, she's propelled to the sun-bleached streets of Key West.

In the midst of the island's laid-back culture, Kim discovers she's not the sole hunter in this high-stakes game.

From the gritty pages of Lee Child's Tripwire, a determined woman and a seasoned private investigator have also picked up Reacher's scent.

And they're not simply tracking Reacher. They're lying in wait.

Because they have insider information that Kim does not.

They know Jack Reacher.”

The cast of characters in this story is:

Carlos Gaspar

Charles Cooper

Reggie Smithers

Lamont Finlay

William Curry

Marilyn Stone

Nora Ramsey

Iniko Makindeand

Jack Reacher

Otto is her normal self in this one, in the last few stories she seems a less stressed and frazzled. This story surprised me on a few occasions. It is a great story with an interesting plot, excellent characters. This story is slower than some others and has a significantly lower body count, but that is because of what is happening. Otto is trying to figure out what links a bunch of seemingly random killings. There is a scientist trying to save her company, and rehabilitate her father’s reputation. There are a number of different story arc’s that are winding around each other until they start to collide. 

It is another great story in an excellent series. These books always leave you desperate for the next instalment in the series. Capri has again done a wonderful job in leading us on the hunt for Jack Reacher. And with each offering we get to know Otto better. This story was very well done. I can easily recommend this book and series.

Note: there are two numbering systems for this series. Good Reads numbers the novels continuously with the shorter stories earlier in the series being x.5. Diane Just numbers them 1-??. So this book is number 21 for total stories and number 18 for novels.

I picked a copy of this a couple of years ago because my niece was reading it at the time. However, it got lost in the plethora of books on my kindle and I never got around to reading it. This year my youngest, 13, picked it to read in class for school reading and a book report. She has to read the physical copy and read it in class. She debated between this and the Inheritance Games series, both had come highly recommended, but a few other girls in her class were doing Inheritance. While picking it up I read the prologue and was hooked. My daughter is a little mad that I read it in 1 days and she has to wait and read it in class, but oh well!

The description of this volume states:

“Seventeen-year-old Cassie is a natural at reading people. Piecing together the tiniest details, she can tell you who you are and what you want. But it’s not a skill that she’s ever taken seriously. That is, until the FBI come knocking: they’ve begun a classified program that uses exceptional teenagers to crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie.

What Cassie doesn’t realize is that there’s more at risk than a few unsolved homicides—especially when she’s sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Sarcastic, privileged Michael has a knack for reading emotions, which he uses to get inside Cassie’s head—and under her skin. Brooding Dean shares Cassie’s gift for profiling, but keeps her at arm’s length.

Soon, it becomes clear that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new killer strikes, danger looms closer than Cassie could ever have imagined. Caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse with a killer, the Naturals are going to have to use all of their gifts just to survive.”

This series started just a year after Barry Lyga’s I Hunt Killers series which I read as they were releasing. I absolutely loved killers. This volume has a somewhat similar feal, except it is a team of ‘naturals’ young adults with special abilities, such as: human lie detector, ability to read emotions and feelings almost exactly and of course natural profilers. Cassis is brought in as the newest member of the team. She is in training and then the team typically works on cold cases. But when a killer starts sending Cassie very personal gifts the whole gig changes. 

Cassie has spent years trying to find here place in the world. Since the murder of her mother and being dumped with her father’s family. She has never really felt like she fit. She could pretend, and she could try and please family. But it was always work for her. Now in the program with the other Naturals she is finding she just might have a place in this world. And she is not sure if she can navigate the young adult angst of the team living in close quarters and doing the work they do. But when things change the stakes are higher than she ever expected. And her own past just might be the key to solving the current killing spree.

This story is very well written. The characters are crafted to near perfection. The cases they are reviewing might be dark and grim, but they will train them to help prevent future cases like these. Cassie really feels she could play a role here, an important role. The story moves at a quick pace, with the whole story taking place over a short time span. They is a huge plot twist.

Overall, I was impressed with this story. I am surprised it took me almost a decade to hear about this book. Especially since when it released, I was reading and reviewing a lot of Young Adult books. This story is a great beginning of a series, and it leaves you wanting the next instalment. But because of the serial killer investigations absolutely not for all readers. Now the question is do I really upset my daughter and read the next volume or do I wait for her? A great read for mature teens and young adults, or even some of us older folks.

p.s. both my niece and daughter really prefer the original covers. And I admit I lean that way as well. Fortunately the eBooks have the original covers for the first three still.
