Chinese Bishop from Taiwan gives his thoughts on the Synod

The Synod for Bishops on the New Evangelization on Tuesday held its second day of interventions. Among the Synod participants is Chinese Bishop Martin Su Yao-wen of Taichung in Taiwan. As one of only two Chinese bishops at the Synod [the other is Cardinal John Tong Hon of Hong Kong], he told us he feels a special responsibility to keep the Catholics of mainland China in his thoughts.

“I wish to pray for them, that they can have more grace from God to face their challenges,” he said.

He told Vatican Radio a personal relationship with God is the key to the New Evangelization.

“Once again we come back to our deep faith in God. We find our core is God’s love. Let us everyone deepen our relationship with God to feel his grace, and then we can live joyfully to spread the Gospel.”
