Today at Mass, an excerpt from the diary of Saint Perpetua was read during Scripture reading. She was a young mother, martyred for refusing to renounce her Christian faith.
"Perpetua, unwilling to renounce Christianity, comforted her father in his grief over her decision, 'It shall happen as God shall choose, for assuredly we depend not on our own power but on the power of God.'"
