About this sermon

Father Hugh Barbour offers an appreciation of the life of St. Mark Ji Tianxiang, who lived more than 30 years as an opium addict. Though he never overcame his addiction, he died a martyr's death. His story illuminates the mystery of holiness in the life of an addicted person. Transcript: https://catholic.com/audio/st-mark-ji-tianxiang-addict-martyr-and-saint
