Men gave their LIVES that we might have the WRITTEN word!
ABSOLUTELY, INDEED!
Yep. Their triumph is a blessing to us and to them.
As is the triumph of Catholic martyrs, men and women. In 1914 the angelic trumpets sounded for several female Dominican Tertiaries martyred in Turkey, while in the late 1920's 25 Catholics (and these are just the beatified -- there were many more) were martyred in Mexico.
Can we at least join in praising God for the heroism He gives those who loved not their lives unto death and the hope He gives us through their example?
