圣保禄·郑夏祥
韩国初期教会杰出的平信徒领袖与殉道圣人 纪念日：9月20日 在韩国天主教会的历史上，圣保禄·郑夏祥（Saint Paul Chong Hasang，丁夏祥）是一位极其重要的人物。他没有成为司铎，却以平信徒的身份承担起领导、传教、护教和组织教会的重任；他曾多次冒险前往北京，为韩国教会寻求司铎和牧灵照顾，并向教宗请求为韩国建立正式的教会组织。 最终，他在1839年的迫害中被捕，并因坚持信仰而殉道。 圣保禄·郑夏祥是韩国早期教会最杰出的平信徒领袖之一，也是韩国103位殉道圣人中的重要人物。 他与圣安德肋·金大建及其他韩国殉道者一起，于1984年5月6日由教宗圣若望保禄二世在首尔册封为圣人。(vaticannews.va (Vatican News)) 一、一个由平信徒开始的教会 韩国天主教会的诞生，在普世教会历史上具有非常独特的意义。 韩国最初并不是由外国传教士建立天主教团体，而是一些韩国知识分子通过从中国传入的基督宗教书籍认识了福音。 18世纪后期，一批韩国学者开始研究有关天主教的著作。1784年，其中一人前往中国并接受洗礼。回国以后，他将所认识的信仰带回韩国，天主教逐渐在当地传播开来。 1794年，一位中国籍司铎进入韩国时，已经发现那里存在约4,000名天主教徒。换句话说，在长期缺乏司铎和圣事牧养的情况下，韩国的平信徒已经承担起传播和维系信仰的重要使命。(vaticannews.va (Vatican News)) 圣保禄·郑夏祥正是在这样的信仰环境中成长起来的。 二、出生于殉道者家庭… Read More
