The Great Army of the Martyrs

Bishop Robert Barron

May 8, 2022

Friends, during this Easter season we’re reading from the book of Revelation, that marvelous, final book of the Bible. In today’s reading, John sees mystically, across space and time, across the Christian centuries, all those people from all over the world who would give their lives for Christ. This army of martyrs compels a choice: Which army do we fight with? The army of the world, or the army of the Lamb, standing as though slain?
