   Dear St. Michael My,
   Please pray for the success of a hernia operation, that is scheduled next week. I have been suffering from this anomaly for the past several years, though a surgery was performed two years back. If God wills, let me be cured of this disease through Your intercession.

   How is it that this site can have many pages of information on Saints who lived as far back as first century Christianity, even when all the information is only legend, and yet have hardly anything on St. Michael My, who lived in the 1800's? I am very sure that somewhere on the internet or in a local library there is much more information on this saint included in a history of Vietnam. I live very near Garden Grove, California, which has the largest Vietnamese population in the world, larger even than Vietnam itself, it is a wonderful, vibrant community, and I am sure a greater amount of information on St. Michael My would be appreciated here.

   Hardly inspirational. Asking a saint to remove a political force because one does not atgree with it, is not, theologically, what the saints do or what Christ was put on this earth, for. Had He been, He would have helped his own with the Romans when they were persecuting the Jews by the thousands. Simply because Johanne does not like the system there, or that a war was fought or people died, and we in the US, lost, not only boys, but also the war....is no reason to beckon the saints. Peace, yes, To topp;e a political power is, to me, a gross misuse of prayer. I have been to Vietnam, to see the holy sites and the history that is there and I was treated so well, by those communists, friendly, happy, seemingly, polite and efficient. This is not the 50's, where communism is a thing to be feared,....indeed it is not even a real concept within its own philosophy, and never has been. I would not believe that the saints you pray to would agree with your prayers to topple a government for your pleasure. Get over yourslef and start praying for things worth praying for and might actually happen! No offense, of course.

   St. Michael My please ask your son-in-law, Blessed Anthony Dich, to intercede between God and your people of Vietnam to bring and end to their Communist Government. They killed you both for your faith-Catholicism; will you let them get away with it? You are very much alive today; it's time to fight back while your people are in the grace of the Great Jubilee! Let this miracle of setting free the Vietnamese be the one that gets Blessed Anthony Dich the title of Saint!
   
   Congratulations Saint James Nam for reaching the top of the ladder in your faith journey here on Earth, and please pray for Blessed Anthony Dich that he too will be honored with his true title. The three of you are true examples for us to follow, may we too live out our faith as you did yours...be willing to die for it-be it Catholicism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or any other (as an American I truly believe in Freedom of Religion as stated in the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Article 18). Let this fight for independance be as Beloved Mohandas Gandhi, Nobel Prize recipient, wanted for his people...a nonviolent resistance-a peaceful civil disobedience to an unwelcome government. Let us pray that in this time of grace from the Great Jubilee that all will be set free in peace that there not be an equal to the Amritsar Massacre of India in 1919. And, that all find their way to their true faith.
   
   Let their Vietnamese ancestors-descendants of the Chinese and Thai people, as well as other Vietnam ancestors whose people number as minorities, be truly honored by their descendants actions for a peaceful unity. May Ho Chi Minh, whom I believe is now at peace with his God and knows the complete truth today, live out his name given him on Earth-in his afterlife-"he who enlightens". Let him pray for a true republic in Vietnam...a government By the People and For the People. May he pray for unity among religions and pray for others to forgive the French for their past mistakes. And, to pray that Catholics not be unfairly judged for the mistakes of a few. May the force of the grace of the Great Jubilee be with all the Vietnamese, as well as the true immigrants of the heart (those looking to bring something to their new country rather than looking to deplete it for their own self-serving needs); so that they, the people of Vietnam, may bring an end to the Vietnam war--a real unity. God be with all the people of Vietnam and Blessed St. Dich in their fight for true title.
