Martyrdom means bearing
witness to God. Every soul that seeks in pureness of heart to know God and
obeys the commandments of God is a martyr, bearing witness by life or by
words…. That is why, in the gospels, the Lord praises the people who have left
house or family or lands for Jesus’ sake and for the gospel. The people are
blessed because they too are going to meet martyrdom simply by living in a way
that is different from the crowd, because they are following the rule of the
gospel for love of the Lord.
