I too would love to see more video of Aedan McGrath. I always loved his tales of his life in China and the Philippines. He had the story of protecting locals during the rape of Nanking (Nanjing). There was the story of boat of pilgrims capsizing in the South China Sea! Someone must have some more video of him telling of his life! Please, if you have any post them.
It was no doubt in my mind the Holy Spirit in that bird. He did come in the form of a "dove" once some 2000 years ago. Amazing. Glory be to God and God rest the kind, gentle priestly soul of this dear man.
A friend gave me a copy of Fr. W. Aedan McGrath's posthumously published book, "Perseverance Through Faith." It is a remarkable. Pope John Paul II invited Fr. Aedan to say mass with him in 1980, at the Vatican. Both attributed their deep (and prolife) spirituality and love of Jesus living in Mary as keeping them "sane" under Chinese and Soviet persecution.
When I think of the Catholic faith lived out in the face of a cynical, dehumanizing and arrogant world, THIS is the face of Christ that the Church reveals to the world--to those who have eyes to see. Peace and All Good+

Its important that people learn and become aware of what happened and how it affects the faith in the today's world.

Very touching and poignant. God bless Fr. Aedan. I wish I could post on my blog, but I see the embedding has been disabled.

This is quite an uplifting little video. Fr Aidan seems very balanced considering what he went through. We must pray for the Chinese people.
