About this episode

The episode reflects on the martyrdom of Saint Charles Lwanga and his companions, emphasizing the strength of Christian hope and the resurrection.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, Memorial of Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs, we read in the Gospel (Mark 12:18-27) how Jesus answers the Sadducees’ trap about the resurrection by pointing them back to Scripture and to the living power of God: “He is not God of the dead but of the living.” Christian hope is not vague optimism. It is confidence that God’s life is stronger than death. And the resurrection is not an abstract doctrine; it is the truth that lets a Christian stand upright, love clearly, and suffer without being owned by suffering. That fits beautifully with Saint Charles Lwanga and his martyred companions, the saints of today. Their martyrdom witnesses that faith is not merely an idea to defend, but a life entrusted to God even when earthly power threatens everything. They could face death because they believed Christ’s words. Their witness reaffirmed that trust that the body can be killed, but the life God gives cannot be taken away. Ave Maria! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy! + Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New York Enhance your faith…
