Please find the translated text of his address below:
Holy Father,
I welcome you with joy together with the laity,
religious and clergy of the whole church in Korea. I am honored to be in
his presence to keep this speech of greeting.
The Catholic Church in Korea has already 103 saints
and martyrs in addition to these, through the beatification of today, it
also has 124 blessed.
This area around Gwanghwamun is the historic site
where many were martyred ancestors of our faith. In it were located also
also the main departments of the Chosun Dynasty.
The Catholic Church in Korea has grown on the blood of
the martyrs and has proven to be a good example for Korean society by
promoting justice and human rights. So I think that the beatification of
today will be an occasion reminder to make the harmony and unity of
Catholics not only Koreans but also the Korean people and all other
peoples of Asia, through the exchange of universal brotherhood.
The Korean Church will always try to be the light and
salt for the evangelization of the world, and also to be a church that
serves the poor, the oppressed and marginalized by making them feel the
joy of the Gospel.
Holy Father,
Thank you again and I ask you to pray and bless the Church in Korea.
