I agree. It ought to be a daily task for Christians to examine their conscience regarding martyrdom. “What would I do if I was faced with the threat of death - would I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord - or would I deny Him?” Believe me, it is a very humbling exercise. But, I think if we are honest, we really ought to do this exercise daily, and then ask God for strength from the Holy Spirit.
One more thing - the last part of the “Our Father” prayer is ‘deliver us from evil”. We should not ignore that part of the prayer. A plea for God’s help and His mercy is always needed in life.
God Bless.
The UN just announced that it was diverting the human rights task force from the Congo Republic to Korea immediately.
Amen!
