mučeni pro pravdu.

Mučeni pro pravdu.

Maybe the time is coming, when the Antichrist will rule on the all globe. We then will experience similar things. Three and a half years (42 months) of his ruling! See Revelation of apostle John chapter 13, verse 5.
Česky:
Možná nastává čas, kdy Antikrist bude vládnout na celé zeměkouli. My pak zažijeme podobné věci jako tito prvomučedníci. Tři a půl roku (42 měsíců) jeho hrůzovlády! Mrkněte do Zjevení apoštola Jana, kapitoly 13, verše 5.

Some were burned alive, others thrown to wild beasts. Some had their skin flayed off. One had her breasts cut off, another, her eyes gouged out. Some were beheaded, others thrust through with swords. These are the Martyrs and great heroes of the early Church. They suffered much and gained everything. Their death was like seed that caused the Church to grow by God’s grace. So many of us have it easy compared to them. They were willing to suffer death for the faith, many of us cannot even bear to be unpopular for it. Pray for courage from the intercession of the martyrs. It seems it will become increasingly necessary in the years ahead.

The Song is from Monteverdi’s setting of Deus Tuorum Militum. Here is the translation:

Deus tuorum militum O God, thou who art the portion
Sors et corona, praemium the crown and the reward of thy soldiers,
Laudes canentes Martyris absolve form the chains of sin, those
Absolve nexu criminis singing the praises of thy martyr.

Poenas cucurrit fortiter Bravely he/she ran the way of torture,
Et sustulit viriliter suffered bravely,
Fundensque pro te sanguinem and shedding his/her blood for thee,
Aeterna dona possidet. (now) possesses eternal gifts.

Laus et perennis gloria Praise and continual glory be
Deo Patri et Filio to God the Father and the Son,
Sancto simul Paraclito together withthe Holy Spirit
In sempiterna saecula. Amen unto eternal ages. Amen
