Today in Catholic churches we remember Saint Stephen who was stoned because he was a follower of Christ.
Every day we hear of modern martyrs who are dying for their faith. Most recently in Africa those who died just because they wanted to worship at Christmas.
Those who die by hands of Taliban because the Taliban believe they are trying to convert others.
The reality of it all is that Jesus life began in a wood stable, with his dying on a wood cross. Jesus stood for compassion, justice and forgiveness. Thank God for Easter!!!
Are you willing to stand for compassion, justice and forgiveness? At what cost? Is there someone before the new year comes that you need to reach out to?
We may not be asked to give our life's blood for the Way, but we are asked to give our life in service to this way of life. I pray for the grace for myself and all of you that we may live a life of servant hood.
