Today we remember Perpetua, Felicitas and their companions were martyred in Carthage in 202 in the prosecution under the Emperor Septimus Severus. (It’s also the the birthday in 1878 of my maternal grandmother Molly, who was also an amazing woman.)

                                                        Psalm 89:1 

Your love, O Lord, for ever will I  sing; from age to age my mouth shall proclaim
your faithfulness. For I am
persuaded that your
love is established 

for ever

Love 

one another. 

And do not let 

what we suffer 

be a stumbling 

block to you.
