Dear Commander at the Roman
Emperor’s court, you chose to be also a
soldier of Christ and dared to spread faith
in the King of kings-for which you were
condemned to die. Your body, however,
proved athletically strong and the execut-
ing arrows extremely weak. So another
means to kill you was chosen and you
I gave your life to the Lord. May athletes
be always as strong in their faith as their
Patron Saint so clearly has been.
