The others took the sword in silence and without moving, especially Saturus, who being the first to climb the stairway was the first to die. For once again he was waiting for Perpetua. Perpetua, however, had yet to taste more pain. She screamed as she was struck on the bone; then she took the trembling hand of the young gladiator and guided it to her throat. It was as though so great a woman, feared as she was by the unclean spirit, could not be dispatched unless she herself were willing.

Ah, most valiant and blessed martyrs! Truly are you called and chosen for the glory of Christ Jesus our Lord! And any man who exalts, honours, and worships his glory should read for the consolation of the Church these new deeds of heroism which are no less significant than the tales of old. For these new manifestations of virtue will bear witness to one and the same Spirit who still operates, and to God the Father almighty, to his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, to whom is splendour and immeasurable power for all the ages. Amen.

These martyrs...also better known as our First Sister s and Brothers in JESUS...

...are among those that I have written a list of Witnesses and Heroes
Of The Faith and Love for JESUS...whom I am going to meet
and speak very-happily with once I have arrived
within Those Gates of Splendor
and come to rest High upon The Mountain of GOD
