The First Reading from Mass speaks of the heroic example of seven brothers and their mother standing up for the faith in the face of persecution. When we hear stories like that or of the great martyrs, we can ask ourselves, "would I be willing to die for the faith like that?" Perhaps a better question would be, "Am I willing to live for the faith right now?" We all have decision point moments where we have to decide - are we in, or are we out? What will our answer be?
