They have given their lives throughout history and do so today for these sublime goals that raise humans to a level of nobility and spirituality.
They show that true Christianity is not a religion of comfort and complacency but one of challenge and dynamic transformation. That was the mission of Jesus of Nazareth. This son of a carpenter was arrested, jailed, tortured and executed for his love and solidarity with every individual, and chose to be identified with those rejected, downtrodden and excluded from society.
Jesus called all to repentance and service. He showed the way. I am the way, the truth and life … I came to serve, not to be served …love one another as I have loved you…There is no greater love than to lay down your life for one’s friends. And you are my friends if you follow my words and example…
