Memorial of the Seven Holy Brothers_*
During the persecution decreed by Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-168), seven brothers, sons of the saintly Felicitas, were forced to renounce their Christian faith, but they remained steadfast and their mother encouraged them in confessing Christ. Pope Gregory the Great said of this widow St Felicitas: She was more than a martyr for seeing her seven sons martyred before her eyes, she was in some sort a martyr in each one of them.
_Can we die for our faith?_
