1st June - Saint Justin, Martyr
Let it be understood that those who are not found living as He taught are not Christian- even though they profess with the lips the teaching of Christ.
We ourselves were well conversant with war, murder and everything evil, but all of us throughout the whole wide earth have traded in our weapons of war. We have exchanged our swords for plowshares, our spears for farm tools...now we cultivate the fear of God, justice, kindness, faith, and the expectation of the future given us through the Crucified One....The more we are persecuted and martyred, the more do others in ever increasing numbers become believers - Saint Justin, Martyr
