KOREA, MARTYRS OF, SS.
Also known as Andrew Kim
Tae-gon and Companions, and Paul Chong Hasang and Companions; d. in Korea,
1839, 1846, 1866, and 1867. During his 21st international pastoral visit,
Pope John
Paul II canonized 103 of the estimated 8,000–10,000 martyrs of Korea
on May 6, 1984, in its capital Seoul. This marked the bicentennial of
Christianity in Korea and the first canonization ceremony held outside the
Vatican. After noting the uniqueness of the Korean Catholic community in the
history of the Church, he said: "The death of the martyrs is similar to
the death of Christ on the Cross, because, like his, theirs has become the
beginning of new life."
The canonized Korean
Martyrs are 103 Catholics first beatified in two groups: 79 martyrs who died
during the Choson dynasty (1839–46) were beatified in 1925; 24 martyred in 1866–67
were raised to the altar in 1968.
Among the group were 10
French missionaries (3 bishops and 7 Paris Society of Foreign Missions [MEP]),
46 Korean men (1 priest, 1 seminarian, 25 lay catechists, and 19 other laymen),
and 47 Korean women (15 virgins, 11 married women, 18 widows, and 3 of unknown
marital status; 3 of them were catechists). They ranged in age from 13 to 78.
Most of the canonized saints were beheaded, but 17 were hanged or strangled, 10
expired in prison, and 7 died under torture. Their common feast is September 20
on the General Roman Liturgical Calendar.
The names of the two
martyrs listed in the liturgical calendar are Andrew Kim Tae-gon, the first
Korean priest, and Paul Chong Hasang, a renowned lay leader.
Andrew Kim Tae-gon, b.
Tchoung-tcheng Province, Korea, Aug. 21, 1821; d. near Seoul, Korea, Sept. 16,
1846, was born into Korean nobility. Kim's father Ignatius Kim, and
grandfather, In-He Kim (d. 1814) died for the faith. After his baptism (1836)
Andrew went with two other Korean youths to seminary in Macau, China, where he
remained until 1842. He then set out for his native land, but not until his
third attempt and after many difficulties did he succeed in entering the
closely guarded Hermit Kingdom, as Korea was known, by way of Manchuria (1845).
In 1844 he was ordained a deacon, and in 1845 he crossed the Yellow
Sea and was ordained a priest in Shanghai, becoming the first native
Korean priest. He returned to Korea in company with Bp. Jean Ferréol, the vicar
apostolic, and Fr. A. Daveluy. In 1846 Kim was assigned to arrange for the entrance
of more missionaries by some water routes that would elude the border patrol.
During this process he was arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and finally beheaded
at the Han River near Seoul, the capital. The body was exposed publicly for
three days, according to the custom, before burial at the site of execution.
After 40 days the Catholics were able to obtain the remains and bury them on
Mi-ri nai Mountain about 35 miles distant. In 1949 the holy see designated him
the principal patron of the clergy of Korea.
Paul Chong Hasang
(Cheong), seminarian, lay catechist, d. Sept. 22, 1839 (age 45), hanged outside
the small west gate in Seoul. Paul was one of the lay leaders of the early
Korean Church. His father, leader of the confraternity of Christian doctrine,
and his uncle were martyred in the Shin-Yu persecution of 1801. Following in
their footsteps, Paul gathered the scattered Christians and labored to
strengthen the infant Korean Church. He traveled nine times to Beijing as a
servant to the Korean diplomatic mission in order to petition the bishop of
Beijing to send priests to Korea. Because his plea fell on deaf ears, he
appealed directly to Rome in 1925, which led to the dispatch of French
missionaries. He also wrote to the prime
minister a short apologetic (Sang-Je-Sang-Su) on Christian
doctrine and its harmony with national values in the hope of ending the persecution
of Christians. Paul was one of the three men sent by Maubant to Macau for
seminary training; he was martyred, however, prior to ordination. His mother,
Cecilia, and sister died for their faith shortly thereafter.
The earliest missionaries
to Korea are also included among the martyrs canonized: Laurent Joseph Marius
Imbert, bishop; b. 1786, Marignane (Bouches-du-Rhône), France; Pierre Philibert
Maubant, b.1803 in Vaussy (Calvados); Jacques Honoré Chastan, b. 1803 in
Marcoux (Basses-Alpes). Imbert entered the MEP in 1818, was ordained in 1819,
and went to China (1820) after ordination, where he labored as a missionary
until he became the second vicar apostolic of Korea (1837) and the first one to
enter the country. Preceding him were two French confreres, Maubant and
Chastan. Maubant was ordained in 1829, joined the MEP in 1831, and set out for
Korea in 1832. He entered the country in 1836, the same year as Chastan, who
was ordained in 1826, joined the MEP in 1827, and went to Thailand before his
assignment to Korea (1832). Since the Hermit Kingdom did not admit foreigners
and did not tolerate Christians, the three men, the only priests then in the
country, could not engage openly in their apostolate. An edict, issued in April
1839 was followed by fierce persecution. Bishop Imbert (whose Korean name was
Bom) found it necessary to flee from Seoul, the capital, in June. He remained
in hiding until betrayed by a renegade Christian and seized by the authorities
(August 11). From his prison in Seoul he sent to his two priests a
controversial letter that directed them to come forward. Maubant (Ra in Korean)
and Chastan (Cheong) came as directed. The three were tried, tortured, and
sentenced to military execution. After they had been beheaded at state expense
at a public and solemn ceremony in Sae Nam Do near Seoul (Sept. 21, 1839),
their heads were suspended in public to terrify Christians. Their mortal
remains are enshrined at Samsong-san, near Seoul.
Besides these men, the
following other martyrs were canonized. They are listed by their given name
together with their date of death and age at the time of death.

refuge now called Han-Ti (meaning "mass grave") in the Palgong
Mountains. Later all the Christians of the village were massacred in a surprise
attack and buried together. Daveluy was responsible for establishing a press to
print catechisms and for collecting and preserving information on those
martyred. He edited the first Korean-French dictionary, which authorities
burned together with other Christian books. In an attempt to spare other
Christians, Daveluy turned himself in. From jail he wrote to Aumaitre and

Jeong-nyul [Chŏng-nyul] [Peter Ryou Cheng-Noui] ble født i 1836 (eller 1837) i
Nonje i Taphyen nær Pyongyang i Nord-Korea. Han ble foreldreløs da han var en
liten gutt. Han var svært fattig og tjente til livets opphold ved å selge sko
av strå. Han hadde et snarsint temperament og behandlet sin hustru brutalt. Han
var glad i gambling.
Mellom 1863 og 1864 fikk
han høre om den katolske religion. I 1864, da han var 28 år gammel, dro han til
Seoul og ble døpt av den hellige biskop Simeon Berneux MEP
(1814-1866) og fikk dåpsnavnet Peter. Etter dåpen forandret hans liv seg
fullstendig. Han behandlet sin hustru vennlig og mildt, og som en bot for sin
tidligere brutalitet, pleide han å slå seg selv. Han sluttet også med gambling.
Han førte mange mennesker til den katolske tro ved sitt milde og trofaste liv.
I 1866 var det et rykte
om at det snart ville bryte ut en forfølgelse, men Peter Yu levde og handlet
fredelig. På måneårets nyttårsdag i 1866 kan han ha vært inspirert av Den
Hellige Ånd, for han gikk rundt og tok farvel med sine slektninger. Da han
besøkte misjonsstasjonen Kodunni om kvelden samme dag og ba med kateket Vincent
Jeong and mange andre mennesker, stormet flere politimenn inn i
misjonsbygningen. Mange klarte å flykte, men Peter Yu og kateketen Vincent
Jeongs hellige nevø Alexius U Se-yeong (1845-1866)
ble arrestert. Peter var lykkelig over denne skansen til å bli martyr. De
ble brakt til Pyongyang og satt i fengsel.
Guvernøren av Pyongyang
lot noen apostater slå Peter med køller. De apostatene som nektet å slå Peter,
ble slått av guvernørens menn. Det endte med at Peter Yu til slutt ble slått
til døde den 17. februar 1866 i fengselet i Pyongyang. Han var rundt tretti år
gammel. For å være sikker på at han virkelig var død, fikk guvernøren sine menn
til å brenne Peters legeme. Deretter kastet fem apostater det i elven Taedong.
Den natten tok Peters hustru hans legeme opp av vannet og gravla ham på
familiekirkegården. En av disse apostatene var nevnte Alexius U, som ble
arrestert sammen med ham. Han angret sitt frafall og medvirket i å slå i hjel
Peter, så han gikk til biskopen og skriftet og fikk absolusjon. Rett etter ble
han arrestert igjen og led martyrdøden.
Ti år senere, i 1876, ga
guvernøren ordre om at et steinmonument skulle reises ved elven. Dette monumentet
var egentlig for å prise guvernøren for å ha drept katolikkene, men det ble et
bevis på Peters martyrium. Man mener at dette monumentet fortsatt står i
Pyongyang.
Peter Yu var blant de 24
som døde i forfølgelsene mellom 1861 og 1867 som ble saligkåret den 6. oktober
1968 av den ærverdige pave Paul VI (1963-78). 79 martyrer som døde mellom 1839
og 1846 var blitt saligkåret i 1925 av pave Pius XI (1922-39). Hele gruppen ble
helligkåret den 6. mai 1984 på Yeouido Plaza (fra 1999 Yeouido Park) i Seoul av
den hellige pave Johannes Paul II (1978-2005).
Deres minnedag i den romerske generalkalenderen er 20. september.

św. Piotr Yu Chŏng-nyul
męczennik, katechista
Wspomnienie w Martyrologium Romanum:
17 lutego
św. Piotr Yu Chŏng-nyul Życiorys św. Piotra Yu Chŏng-nyul
Święty Piotr Yu Chŏng-nyul urodził się w 1836 roku w Nonje
w Pyŏngyang. Został sierotą, gdy był małym chłopcem. Był bardzo
biedny i zarabiał na życie sprzedając słomiane buty. Miał bardzo
porywczy temperament, surowo traktował swoją żonę i bardzo lubił hazard.
W latach 1863-1864 uczył się religii katolickiej. Następnie udał się
do Seulu, gdzie został ochrzczony przez biskupa Szymona Berneux
i otrzymał imię Piotr. Po chrzcie jego życie całkowicie się zmieniło.
Traktował swoją żonę życzliwie i delikatnie. Przestał też uprawiać hazard.
Prowadził wielu ludzi do wiary katolickiej poprzez swoje łagodne
i wierne życie. Został aresztowany wraz z kilkoma chrześcijanami,
którzy jednak w czasie przesłuchań wyparli się wiary. Aby udowodnić
swoje odstępstwo bili oni Piotra rózgami, aż zadali mu śmierć.
Następnie Apostaci wrzucili ciało męczennika do rzeki Taedong. Było
to 17 lutego 1866 roku. Tej nocy żona Piotra wydobyła jego ciało
z wody i zakopała na rodzinnym cmentarzu. W 1876 roku,
gubernator nakazał wznieść kamienny pomnik nad rzeką. Właściwie, pomnik
ten miał pochwalić gubernatora za zabicie katolików, ale stał się dowodem
męczeństwa Piotra. Piotra Yu Chŏng-nyul beatyfikował 6 października 1968 roku
papież Paweł VI w grupie 24 męczenników, a kanonizował 6 maja 1984
roku Ojciec Święty Jan Paweł II w grupie 103 męczenników koreańskich.
Należy dodać, że wspomnienie wszystkich 103 męczenników z Korei
obchodzone jest 20 września. Modlitwa do św. Piotra Yu Chŏng-nyul
Wszechmogący i miłosierny Boże obchodzimy dzień zwycięstwa
Twojego męczennika Piotra, któremu dałeś nieugiętą stałość
w cierpieniach, otocz nas swoją opieką i wybaw od zasadzek
nieprzyjaciół. Przez Chrystusa Pana naszego. Amen.
