I am a missionary in Japan.  I have responded to God's call to witness and in some ways participate in the Mystery of His plan for the people of this country full of beauty and wisdom and an awe- inspiring Catholic history.  Saint Julie Billiart might call me a "hook for catching souls." My hope is that -- in God's subtle ways -- the people I meet here might catch a glimpse of Jesus and be drawn to know him better.
