"Learn to 'live a full life, welcoming the martyrdom of daily fidelity
to the Gospel': This is the warning addressed today by the Pope at the
end of a general audience in which he emphasized the value and meaning
of martyrdom and returned to remember that 'today there are more martyrs
than at the beginning of the life of the Church, and martyrs are
everywhere'.
"Speaking to the 20 thousand people present in St. Peter's Square,
Francis, continuing the cycle of catechesis on the Acts of the Apostles,
underlined the evil of the 'darnel'. 'And what is the worst darnel that
destroys a community? The weeds of murmuring, the tares of chattering'."
A recent Asia News article reported on this message from Pope Francis, who reflected on the martyrdom of Saint Stephen and the martyrs in current times.
