No Greater Love: The True Meaning of Martyrdom
About this book
No Greater Love: The True Meaning of Martyrdom is a guide to not only the Church's teaching on martyrdom, but a prayerful exposition of the models of Catholic Martyrdom. Born from the sacrifice of Christâthe Faithful Witnessâmartyrdom remains the Church's most powerful testimony to the Eternal Truth. From the Holy Innocents to modern saints, martyrs have offered their lives in unwavering love and fortitude. This book explores both the visible martyrdom of blood and the hidden martyrdom of desire, revealing how every Christian is called to offer their life in love, even without the sword. Drawing on Scripture, papal wisdom, and the luminous witness of saints, readers are invited to embrace their role in the militant Church, striving toward holiness with courage and charity. In an age of noise, compromise, and confusion, Bishop Athanasius Schneider reminds us: the Truth is worth dying forâand even more, worth living for.
