I know there is a lot of bad :marseytunaktunak: stories but here is a nice one talking the faith in India

At least 12,000 people gathered in the western state of Goa, India, on Thursday for the opening of a decennial exposition of the saint's partially incorrupt remains.

The celebration takes place amid growing violence toward Indian Christians, which has "skyrocketed" according to a 2024 report by U.S. Christian leaders who urged the U.S. State Department to add India to the watchlist for religious freedom violations.

"O Lord, grant us that love which can never die, which will enkindle our lamps but not extinguish them, so that they may shine in us and bring light to others. Most dear Savior, enkindle our lamps that they may shine forever in your temple. May we receive unquenchable light from you so that our darkness will be illuminated and the darkness of the world will be made less. Amen." - Saint Columba of Iona
