Prayer: Clement of Alexandria


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.
