Stand In The Gap With Us and The St. Cecilia 11/22/2023
The Roman world in 230 A.D. was far from safe for the Christian population that had been for the most part underground throughout the Roman Empire. Burying the dead was officially against Roman Law and those caught would themselves be executed.
About 177 A.D., a baby girl was Baptized into the Catholic Faith. Her name given was Cecilia who was raised in a Christian home who developed a love for the Mass and the Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother.
From an early age she made a vow to virginity to honor the Lord, her first love. Cecilia would make sacrifice serving God through fasting, wearing sackcloth next to her skin, she had great devotion to the Virgin Mary, the Saints, angels, especially the virgin and martyrs for the faith.
The Parents of Cecilia living in a Roman world found it difficult having to give their Christian Daughter to a Noble Roman who was raised Pagan. Their money could not be dependable to maintain their freedom so they lived in trying times for the faithful.
