The most I did in the past few weeks while I’m sick and stay in the hospital was to recite the rosary. Not doing it alone but several friends, each of us responsible for a decade.
I would find various excuses, busy with this and that. But it has become a habit. No time for God?

Police broke into Christian #SunXue 's home after 1am on Oct 13, handcuffed & took him without a warrant. When his mother asked for a detention notice, police shouted & threatened her—showing #China govt's disregard for due process.

由於身體狀況原因,我暫停了每天紀錄人權律師高智晟的失蹤日數,請大家繼續用自己的方式關注。🙏
Due to health issues, I have stopped updating the number of days human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng disappeared. Please continue to show your concern in your own way. 🙏

So happy to meet Liu Xia again! It’s great that she has overcome her depression and is running her own exhibition. She’s doing what she likes. So happy for her.
