The Holy blood from these martyrs have been successful in building a united Catholic Church in Poland. A model for American Catholics. Priests, Bishops and Laity.

What calamity will future martyrs face in these United States? Who will stay the course and run the race to the very end?
Whomever it is, their blood will help seed a renewed Spirit of holiness to overcome the putrid sinfulness of false clergy who have stolen what never belonged to them.

What ever the short lived regime to come may be, it is our duty to be prepared to face them with the courage of the above 108. To them I give thanks to God.
May they help us to live lives worthy of their sufferings. May our sufferings be worthy to Almighty God and may Providence usher in a Holy Catholic Church for our posterity.
