April 12: Saint Victor
At Braga in Portugal, of Saint Victor, Martyr, who while still a catechumen refused to worship an idol, and confessed Christ Jesus with great constancy; wherefore after many torments, he merited to be baptized in his own blood, his head being cut off. How many of us shy away from defending the faith in front of our family and friends? We should look at the example of this martyr and stand up against the modern idols, when we are called to. PRAYER: Saint Victor, guide catechumens on the road to holiness so that they may earn the crown of glory in heaven. Amen.
