First Martyr

Yesterday a birth, today a death - St Stephen, First Christian Martyr.

"Martyrdom means bearing witness to God. Every soul that seeks in pureness of heart to know God and obeys the commandments is a martyr, bearing witness by life or by words."
(Clement of Alexandria)

"Have great love for trials and think of them as but a small way of pleasing your Bridegroom, who did not hesitate to die for you."
(John of the Cross)
