Celebrating our Blessed Marianist Martyrs
|
Starting in August and ending in November, we celebrate our Blessed Marianist Martyrs, Jakob Gapp (August 13); Carlos Eraña, Jesus Hita and Fidel Fuidio (September 18); Miguel Léibar, Florencio Arnaiz, Joaquin Ochoa and Sabino Ayastuy (November 6). As you may know, a martyr is a person who is killed because of his or her religious belief. The person is willing to suffer because his or her faith in God is much more important than renouncing it. Sometimes, a specific cause may lead them to the suffering. In the case of Jakob Gapp, his anti-fascist views during the 1940s was the main reason that led to his death at the hands of the Nazi regime. Our Blessed Marianist Martyrs are members of a very large community of martyrs recognized from the early days of our Catholic community. They are witnesses whom we are called to know and to seek intercession when praying for the grace of God to act upon the lives of friends and family members who need to experience this grace in their lives.
