Prayer nook

July 2021

In preparation for the Plenary Assembly of the Catholic Biblical Federation in April 2022, we invite all members and friends of our Federation to pray for God’s blessing, the Holy Spirit’s guidance, and the intercession of Mary, the Mother of the Word, for all its regions and their activities.

The intention for this month you can find here:

Presentation of the Region

North-East Asia region comprises of countries located between Hong-Kong and Japan. The greatest challenge in this region is the situation of the Church in continental China, where Christians cannot freely access the Word of God and openly practice their faith. Every three years, the region organizes a gathering of United Chinese Catholic Biblical Association, attended by delegates from all countries of Asia, including continental China. Noteworthy is the contribution of South Korea, which supports other regions in the Federation in publication and distribution of the Bible. This region has a great potential for further growth and expansion. One of the venues of this growth is connected with the presence and work of the biggest Bible printing press in the world in China, which enhances cooperation between Catholic and Protestant biblical institutions.
