This powerful Nayrouz message calls us to look to the martyrs—the great cloud of witnesses—as examples of courage, purity, and unwavering faith. Their stories remind us that the Christian life is not about comfort or compromise, but about striving daily for holiness and perfection in Christ.
Through vivid examples of women, mothers, and entire communities who gave their lives rather than deny their faith, we see how the Church is built on sacrifice and endurance. Just as God sustained Israel in the wilderness with manna and living water, He sustains us today through the mysteries of the altar and the life of the Church.
This talk is both a challenge and an encouragement: to carry our daily cross, to live the life of Jesus through the liturgical year, and to cling to Him in every moment until we reach the promised land. Be faithful unto death—and you will receive the crown of life.
