Pasicrates and Valentine, brothers and soldiers, confessed Christ openly in the face of Maximian's persecution. When questioned, they declared their allegiance to the King of Heaven, not earthly rulers. Dragged before the idols, they overturned them with prayer. Beaten and sentenced to death, they were beheaded. Their unwavering faith transformed their suffering into crowns of glory.

Let us pray that, emulating their courage, we may stand firm in our faith, always.
