O God, by whose providence the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church: Grant that we who remember before thee the blessed martyrs of Uganda, may, like them, be steadfast in our faith in Jesus Christ, to whom they gave obedience even unto death, and by their sacrifice brought forth a plentiful harvest; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
3 June 1886, 32 young men, pages in the court of Bugandan King, burned to death at #Namugongo. As Christians, they refused king’s homosexual advances & demand to renounce faith. Led to many coming to faith: the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. #Uganda #martyrsday pic.twitter.com/K8ljxhlATB
