St. Narses, Bishop & Companions, Martyrs (30 November): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Immerse yourself in this powerful reading from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, recounting the heroic witness of St. Narcis, Bishop of Shahhar (Shihar) in Beth Germa, and his disciple St. Joseph, martyred during the fierce persecution under King Sapor II of Persia in 343 AD. Their unwavering fidelity to Christ—despite threats, flattery, and promised rewards—stands as a timeless testimony of courage and faith. This reading also includes the accounts of several other Persian martyrs of the same period, including clergy, virgins, and noblewomen who refused to sacrifice to the sun or abandon their Christian faith. 📖 From: The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints – Fr.
