Each priest, each soul, must carry within that intimate reflection of the Cross, that echo of Calvary. Each priest, each soul, must answer the sacrifice of Jesus with his own. The solemn and glorious martyrdom of blood is not the only one; there are personal martyrdoms, meritorious and cruel, unseen by man but seen by God. Each virtue can have its own martyrs. Charity, queen of them all, has many very great ones. ~Archbishop Luis M. Martinez, The SanctifierDear Lord, help me to make the most of the secret, little opportunities You give me today to be a martyr of charity, for the praise of Your glory. Amen.
