I have been glorified in them
Jesus says that there is no greater love one can have than laying down one's life for one's friends (Jn 15:13). Martyrdom is an expression of this: giving one's life for the sake of the faith and the Gospel. Just like the witness given by the African martyrs, St. Charles Lwanga and companions. Perhaps, it is fair to say that even those martyrs also feared the prospect of death, especially if the manner were seen to be cruel or brutal. But in the hour of \"glory\" itself, God gave them more than enough courage to face death head-on. And so, the enemies might have thought they won because they took away the lives of the martyrs.
