‘Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.“ – Matthew 16:24,25

Peace be to all of the saints who stood between Satan and God’s children. Peace be to all those who were slaughtered in the face of evil.

Lord have mercy on all of us sinners. We can be either the sacrificial lambs or the butchers. Both of these are inside of each of us. Grant us Your Grace to be the lambs.
