Confirmation
For on him the Father, God, has set his seal. (John 6:27)

“Giving one’s life does not only mean being killed; giving one’s life, having the spirit of a martyr, it is in giving in duty, in silence, in prayer, in honest fulfillment of his duty — in that silence of daily life, giving one’s life little by little.” — Pope Francis Reflection: Do you give your life for others in small ways on a daily basis? If not, what makes it challenging for you to have the spirit of giving of your life freely? This content comes to you from Our Sunday Visitor courtesy of your parish or diocese.
