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?
