February 23

Feast of St. Polycarp, Bishop and Martyr  (D. 155)

“Leave me as I am. The one who gives me strength to endure the fire will also give me strength to stay quite still on the pyre, even without the precaution of your nails.”

                                                            –St. Polycarp at his martyrdom

 For Reflection:

How is God giving me the strength of endurance today?
