Saturday 7th March 2026

SAINTS PERPETUA AND FELICITY (203AD)
The martyrdom of Perpetua, & Felicity Perpetua had managed to convert their jailer to Christianity, and so the captives were treated well in their final days. The prisoners turned their last meal into an agape, a love feast, and spoke of the joy of their own sufferings thereby astonishing most witnesses.
Although the execution was intended as entertainment for the jeering crowd, some spectators, inspired by the martyrs’ fearlessness, became converts to Christianity.
They died in 203 AD in Carthage in North Africa during the persecution of Septimius Severus. We have a detailed contemporary account of their arrest, trial, sufferings and martyrdom, written partly by the saints themselves and partly by an eye-witness.
Devotion to them spread rapidly and they are mentioned in the Roman Canon of the Mass.

THE PRAYER OF ABANDONMENT
The Prayer of Abandonment, written by
St. Charles de Foucauld, is one of the
most beautiful prayers of faith, trust and
surrender in the Christian spiritual heritage.

Father,
I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do,
I thank you:
I am ready for all,
I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
and in all your creatures.
I wish no more than this, O Lord.

Into your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to you
with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord,
and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands,
without reserve,
and with boundless confidence,
for you are
my Father.
