Our life is the most precious gift we have. Our Lord laid down His Life for us. Not minding the tremendous pain He suffered on account of our sins and our indifference, He let His Blood fall freely till the very last drop, showing us the full extent of His Love. Following the example of our Lord, all the Apostles and saints laid down their lives for Christ and for us - freely and full of love, they gave up their life for us so that we may live.
