“In time of persecution the battle wins the crown, but in peace it is the testimony of a good conscience.”

                                                          -Saint Cyprian 

For Reflection: 

This quote applies well to St. Callistus who won the crown of martyrdom strengthened by a good conscience that was “virtuously prepared for battle.” In what three ways would my conscience testify for me in such a situation, and in what three ways would it testify against me? Seek the Sacrament of Reconciliation to become strengthened.
