📍 Episode 16: San Vitale & Santi Marcellino e Pietro – Martyrs, Mercy, and the Hidden Strength of Faith ✝️🔥

Today, our Lenten pilgrimage takes us to two powerful station churches: San Vitale and Santi Marcellino e Pietro. These sacred sites bear witness to the suffering, perseverance, and divine mercy that define the Christian journey.

Join us as we explore:

🟠 The martyrdom of Saint Vitalis, who encouraged another to remain faithful before facing his own death

🟠 How San Vitale’s quiet presence in bustling Rome mirrors the hidden endurance of true faith

🟠 The gripping tale of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, exorcists and martyrs, as preserved in the Golden Legend

🟠 The profound connection between these stories and the Gospel themes of rejection, sacrifice, and mercy

How do these martyrs challenge us to remain steadfast in faith, even when unseen?
