Acts of the martyrs

The apostolic fruitfulness of martyrdom – both in past centuries and today – projects the same radiating force on the man of today, because martyrdom is for all a formidable challenge, a bold interpellation, a profound call to a mature, full, missionary Christian experience. This book helps us to make direct contact with some of the most beautiful figures of Christian martyrology, to understand their courageous and sometimes joyful psychology, to know closely the phases of the process, to share at least emotionally the cruel tortures inflicted on them, to celebrate their victory. “We are cordially pleased with this new effort of Brother Contardo Miglioranza and we allow ourselves to express a single wish: that this book enters as a trail of light, encouragement and joy into thousands and thousands of homes. It will be an incentive for a fuller evangelical experience, a flutter of hope in sadness and strength in weakness” (Justo Oscar Laguna).
