Monday 24th Week of Ordinary Time



Cornelius and Cyprian d.253 A.D.


We may think there is confusion in the church nowadays 

But it is nothing compared to the time of Pope Cornelius and Bishop Cyprian. 


Both of them addressed false teachings in the church. 

Both of them were exiled by the Roman Emperor 

And both of them shed their blood for the Faith. 


It is not easy being a Pope or a Bishop at anytime. 

This is why we pray for them in every Eucharistic Prayer at Mass. 

Because they face challenges that most people do not;

And bear burdens and sufferings that many are not aware of.
