“Many years were needed to heal
the wounds of hatred that were
inflicted on so many people
[during the Spanish Civil War]. The
martyrs, however, bring us back to
reality and remind us of our hope
for a future that is grounded on
peace and harmony… we become
ever more aware of the fact that
the gift of forgiveness produces
new and lasting reconciliation,
especially during this time when, in
more subtle ways, we continue to
experience hostility and hatred.”
5. “…these 60 martyrs gave their lives out of love. They
died loving and forgiving, demonstrating a wisdom
which comes from above, not taking sides in the
conflict or getting involved in the civil unrest, but
having a wisdom which came from Jesus Christ.”

6. These martyrs are a model “more timely than ever because
they led the life of God which is always relevant,” especially
during “times in history when it seems hard for us to forgive.
That's why it's good to remember people like these, people
who don't destroy but forgive instead, who give their lives
not for an idea, but for a person: Jesus Christ.”

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. 11 Blessed are you when people revile you
and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil
against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and
be glad, for your reward is great in heaven…
