We give thee thanks and praise, O God of compassion, for the heroic witness of the Martyrs of Memphis, who, in a time of plague and pestilence, were steadfast in their care for the sick and dying, and loved not their own lives, even unto death; Inspire in us a like love and commitment to those in need, following the example of our Savior Jesus Christ; who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Constance and Her Companions, known as the Martyrs of Memphis, were Episcopal nuns and priests who sacrificed their lives caring for yellow fever victims in Memphis in 1878. pic.twitter.com/kPspd2cZI7
