People are important to me. Through my studies I have developed an online community, and I have some very close and wonderful friends that I have known for years.

Women play an essential role in the world. For without the woman’s womb, we are not born. Rejoice and be thankful. – Perpetua
Perpetua and Felicity
We celebrate the lives of some remarkable female saints this week, and today, we remember saints Perpetua and Felicity. These remarkable women were early third-century, African martyrs were of great significance in the life of the early Church. They were condemned as Christians by the Roman authorities and sent to the public arena, to be mauled by wild animals. However, they survived and were then taken to be executed by the sword. Their story was widely circulated secretly throughout the early Christian congregations, giving encouragement in the face of adversity. They were martyred for their faith on this day in the year 203. – Pray As You Go
