FEBRUARY 23 – SAINT POLYCARP
“What does it mean, let him take up his own cross? … This is not a command for virgins to obey and brides to ignore, for widows and not for married women, for monks and not for married men, or for the clergy and not for the laity. No, the whole Church, the entire body, all the members in their distinct and varied functions, must follow Christ.”
Sermon 96
