They stood before the throne and before the Lamb,
wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
They cried out in a loud voice:

—Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne,
and from the Lamb.—

That is what the saints proclaimed;
That is what we are afraid to proclaim, and thereby be acknowledged and notorious Christians;
But, that is what we must proclaim, for there is no other choice.

…and the elder will say of us who have witnessed the reality of Christ ever present —“ our salvation:

—These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress;
they have washed their robes
and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.—

You and I must…
We must confess Jesus as our God and as the world’s salvation.
We must bring all to Him and His Holy Church.
We must witness, washing our robes in the Blood of Christ, and as He promises, we will be counted among the blessed, the saints of God.

Jesus told us:

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.

It is our duty, our work, and our struggle.

Saints of God, intercede for us! Pray for us that we may persevere in, teach, and defend the Holy Faith.
