August 29: STS. SABINA AND SERAPIA: The Slave Who Led Her Mistress to Heaven

A slave girl's quiet faith led her wealthy Roman mistress all the way to martyrdom — and to heaven.

Serapia, a young Christian slave in ancient Rome, never preached to her mistress Sabina — she simply lived her faith so visibly that Sabina couldn't stop noticing, and eventually asked to be baptized herself. When Serapia was arrested and martyred for her faith, Sabina stepped forward publicly as a Christian too, choosing martyrdom rather than staying safely silent.

"The slave went first. The mistress followed."

⭐Following Sts. Sabina and Serapia's example doesn't have to end when the episode does.
