Description
In the month of July our focus is on the lives of holy men and women —Friends of Christ-who fearlessly confessed their faith in the true God under threat of martyrdom.
Rather than fleeing the threat of pain, suf-fering, and death, they embraced it out of their profound love for God and man.
“Because whoever loves little, gives little.
But he who loves more, gives more. And he who loves very much, what worthy gift does he have to give? He gives himself!”
—Saint Porphyrios
