Segment 4 & 5 – Martyrs of the Eucharist: Stories to Inspire Eucharistic Amazement
“In the heart of faith, amidst trials and tribulations, lies the inspiration of the Eucharistic martyrs—men, women, and children whose love for the Blessed Sacrament led them to the ultimate sacrifice. Martyrs of the Eucharist: Stories to Inspire Eucharistic Amazement is a profound collection of twenty-nine stirring stories, curated into four distinct sections: those who died attending Mass, those who died celebrating Mass, those who risked their lives defending or protecting the Eucharist, and those whose deaths are connected to the Eucharist.” (Originally aired October 15, 2024)
