Saint of the Day

Sts. Sergius & Bacchus (3rd century)
Sergius and Bacchus were officers in the Roman army. When they refused the Emperor's order to enter the Temple of Jupiter and sacrifice to the pagan gods, they were dragged through the streets, scourged, tortured, and beheaded.

Reflections from the Saints

If we have obtained the grace of God, none shall prevail against us, but we shall be stronger than all who oppose us.
