When we honour God and His Saints, at a shrine hallowed by the Church or relics or martyrdom or custom, the Saints 'jostle' for the joy of helping us.
When we honour God and His Saints, at a shrine hallowed by the Church or relics or martyrdom or custom, the Saints 'jostle' for the joy of helping us.
God welcomed his martyred monks to the company of the Saints. White blossoms decorated the entrance to glory.
We celebrate our 'Forty Martyrs': Yet Christ is the greatest of martyrs. By a word, He could have saved Himself.
Christ is our Creator, with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Because of His sincere love for us, we can be sure that whenever He has seen someone suffer - especially the martyrs - it has almost broken His heart to see it, though it has been necessary as part of the victory over evil.
People who suffer persecution or martyrdom because of their faith in Christ can feel as though they are leaving a garden of earthly delights to enter an endless tunnel of suffering. They can be assured that that tunnel opens out onto an area: not an area like the Colisseum, but a place where Christ, His Mother and all the Saints wait to greet them, and lead them into a life of Eternal bliss.
There are many places of pilgrimage which attract us, whether the sites of martyrdom of Christian heroes and heroins, or the shrines constructed over places connected with Our Lord, Our Lady or the Saints. The one great Destination where we should all yearn to arrive at is Heaven, which all who enter enjoy the love of God and the Saints, forever!
