Monday – 9th Week in Ordinary Time – A – Memorial of Saint Justin, Martyr
Today we celebrate the very beautiful and special memorial of Saint Justin Martyr. Saint Justin Martyr, who is remembered in the history of the Church as truly personifying martyrdom and what it means in a very special way. And so the first thing that comes to mind is, why does the Church give him this unique title when there were so many other martyrs, like, for example, Saint Peter, who was martyred and called the Apostle or the Prince of the Apostles, Saint Paul, who was martyred as well, Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Saint Polycarp.
