August 11~ SS. Tiburtius and Susanna, Martyrs

St. Tiburtius, a son of the prefect of Rome, was condemned to any tortures and finally beheaded. St. Susanna, having made a vow of virginity, refused to marry. Accused of being a Christian, she suffered a cruel martyrdom.

By faith the saints conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in war, put to flight the armies of foreigners: women received their dead raised to life again. ~ Epistle

He, therefore, that despiseth one of the least of My saints, honoreth not the greatest; for I have made both little and great. ~Imitation: Book III

Ideal~ St. Tiburtius was first thrown into a flaming furnace. The flames did not even singe the hair of his head. He was then beheaded.

Slogan~ God’s in His Heaven: All’s well with the world.
