"O Father, I bless thee that thou hast counted me worthy to receive my portion among the martyrs." These are the words of St. Polycarp as he was being burned alive for Christ's sake. There are very few like St. Polycarp in these last days. There are very few among us who love God enough, few who are worthy enough, to receive the holy crown of martyrdom.

Martyrdom
"O Father, I bless thee that thou hast counted me worthy to receive my portion among the martyrs." These are the words of St. Polycarp as he was being burned alive for Christ's sake. There are very few like St. Polycarp in these last days. There are very few among us who love God enough, few who are worthy enough, to receive the holy crown of martyrdom.
