A Feast of Obscure Saints

Intrigued by what I read, I set about doing some research and prayerful reflecting and the result was this article which was published in both Lay Witness Magazine and Pastoral Review.
May these two saints, whose love story includes each of us, continue to inspire us to live out our faith in heroic ways.
A prayer in honor of Saints Chrysanthus and Daria +
Almighty ever-living God, who gave Saints Chrysanthus and Daria the grace of suffering for Christ, come, in your divine mercy, we pray, to the help of our own weakness, that, as your Saints did not hesitate to die for your sake, we, too, may live bravely in confessing you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(from The Roman Missal)
It is so important to remember those who gave their testimony to Christ. Especially nowadays when so many Christians are being persecuted in the various parts of the world. Let us pray and remember those who suffer.
