Tuesday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 384
The Saint of the day is Saint Gregory Grassi and CompanionsSaint Gregory Grassi and Companions’ Story
Christian missionaries have often gotten caught in the crossfire of wars against their own countries. When the governments of Britain, Germany, Russia, and France forced substantial territorial concessions from the Chinese in 1898, anti-foreign sentiment grew very strong among many Chinese people.
Gregory Grassi was born in Italy in 1823, ordained in 1856, and sent to China five years later. Gregory was later ordained bishop of North Shanxi. With 14 other European missionaries and 14 Chinese religious, he was martyred during the short but bloody Boxer Uprising of 1900.
Twenty-six of these martyrs were arrested on the orders of Yu Hsien, the governor of Shanxi province. They were hacked to death on July 9, 1900. Five of them were Friars Minor; seven were Franciscan Missionaries of Mary—the first martyrs of their congregation. Seven were Chinese seminarians and Secular Franciscans; four martyrs were Chinese laymen and Secular Franciscans. The other three Chinese laymen killed in Shanxi simply worked for the Franciscans and were rounded up with all the others. Three Italian Franciscans were martyred that same week in the province of Hunan. All these martyrs were beatified in 1946, and were among the 120 martyrs canonized in 2000.
Reflection
Martyrdom is the occupational hazard of missionaries. Throughout China during the Boxer Uprising, five bishops, 50 priests, two brothers, 15 sisters and 40,000 Chinese Christians were killed. The 146,575 Catholics served by the Franciscans in China in 1906 had grown to 303,760 by 1924, and were served by 282 Franciscans and 174 local priests. Great sacrifices often bring great results.

This podcast contains today's mass readings from the US Catholic Conference of Bishops. The official USCCB podcast feed contains many future podcasts which requires you to scroll through a month's worth of podcasts to today's reading only. This feed only downloads the podcast of the day so today's reading will appear on top of the list. The script is based on the user's timezone so it will work globally. Please note that the USCCB podcasts are downloaded directly from the USCCB website - this feed's only purpose is ease of use and better organization in your podcast player while minimizing bandwidth by downloading only one podcast at a time. As a bonus, the show notes display the full bio of the Saint of the Day from Franciscan Media and provides a link to the full text of the readings.

Change Log/Feedback to Comments and Reviews:
2025-03-18 Fixed Saint of the Day chapter picture. Yes I know it's been broken way too long. This should be a more durable fix.
2023-08-11 Some refactoring. Added etag header. Add Saint Picture as episode picture, notes.
2023-07-20 Fixed Saint of the Day chapter picture.
2023-03-02 Fixed the revised date format which occurred on 3/1/23 for the Mp3 which prevented downloading the link.
2023-02-04 Fixed the revised date format to the mp3 name which occurred on Feb 1. 2023 breaking the feed and resulting in 3-4 days of lost mass podcasts. I use the feed daily so I will usually know when it breaks but it takes me a couple of days to find the time to fix it. It takes me several hours to fix these bugs. When this happens, until it is fixed please visit the USCCB site directly to get the mass podcast online at https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading. Or if you use Podcast Addict you can click transcript button from any previously working episode and that will open your browser to the correct USCCB page. Then click the forward arrow to advance to the current day. This feed will usually be fixed within a couple of days.
