My spiritual ancestors celebrated mass in cages and catacombs, and they were executed when caught worshipping. There are many accounts of their singing hymns as they were marched to their deaths. In one case, a guard came to the Faith the night before their execution, and he confessed his conversion to the emporer so he could join them in martyrdom.
This corrupt world can take some things from us, but it cannot take love, honor, or the friendship of Jesus Christ from us.
Indeed, at least when I pass in whatever way that is, ill die happy knowing I did the right thing, loved Gods children and Stayed in the light as much as humanly possible.
God adjusts to the evil that men do. That doesn't mean that their evil was His plan, it just means that he always find a new way forward for us.
Well said. Its very true.
