Myanmar’s Cardinal Charles Bo embodies inspiring courage, wisdom, excellent timing and a selfless generosity of spirit and ability to see the big picture.
Six weeks after his own country was plunged into bloody turmoil following the military coup d’etat on Feb. 1, he issued a call for a Global Week of Prayer for China. One would have understood if he had chosen to focus solely on Myanmar’s crisis, but even as the streets around his residence at Yangon’s St. Mary’s Cathedral resounded with gunfire, he perceived the need for the world to pray not only for Myanmar but for the people and Catholic Church in the big power next door.
